The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick screening metric that relates your weight to your height and offers a snapshot of overall weight status.
This calculator lets you enter your weight in kilograms and height in centimetres, instantly returning your BMI and the category it falls into—all without page reloads.
BMI is widely used for adults aged 18 and above; it does not distinguish between muscle and fat mass and may misclassify athletes, pregnant women, or older adults with low muscle tone.
Consider BMI a starting point. Always discuss results with a qualified health-care professional before making lifestyle or medical decisions.
