Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator
BMI is a calculated measure of a person's body weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of their height (in meters). BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)2
BMI measures weight relative to height. This calculator is specifically designed for adults 20 years and older.
BMI does not distinguish between fat, muscle, and bone mass. These all influence a person's weight. BMI does not indicate what types of fat people have. BMI also does not indicate where in the body that people carry fat.
