Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator
Calculate BMI and assess body weight
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on the ratio of weight square (kg) to height square (m). However it is just a preliminary screening tool and cannot fully reflect whether a person has obesity or other health problems. Many factors are needed to assess your actual health status, for instance, medical professionals may evaluate your diet status, thickness of subcutaneous fat, daily activity level or family history for further diagnosis.DISCLAIMER
BMI is used to indicate whether a person is underweight, a healthy weight, overweight or obese, which applies to most adult men and women aged 20 and over. BMI varies with sex and age during childhood and adolescence. Being underweight can adversely affect your health and growth; excessive amount of body fat is associated with various diseases linked to obesity.A very high BMI is very likely to have a high body fat, but BMI cannot be used as a diagnostic tool as it does not directly measure body fat. If in doubt, please seek professional medical advice for further tests or specific treatment.
