Body mass index (BMI) is a way to figure out your weight category. It uses the ratio of your height to your weight. BMI is a measure of your weight that is corrected for height. Knowing your BMI is a way to tell if you are at a healthy weight, underweight, or overweight. The higher your BMI, the greater your risk for weight-related health problems.
BMI below 18.5: Underweight
BMI 18.5 to 24.9: Healthy weight or ideal body weight
BMI 25 to 29.9: Overweight
BMI 30 and over: Obese
BMI 40 and over: Severe obesity
Go online and search for BMI calculators. Try the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. Or go to the American Cancer Society website. Both have online BMI tools.
To figure out your BMI, find your height and weight (or the numbers closest to them) on the table below. Follow each column of numbers to where your height and weight meet on the table. That is your BMI.
