What is a BMI Calculator?
A BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator is a health tool that estimates whether your weight is healthy based on your height and weight. BMI is a screening method used by healthcare professionals to assess potential health risks associated with body weight.
BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. The result falls into categories that help identify potential health concerns:
- Underweight (BMI < 18.5): May indicate nutritional deficiencies or other health issues
- Normal (BMI 18.5-24.9): Generally considered a healthy weight range
- Overweight (BMI 25-29.9): May increase risk of health problems
- Obese (BMI ≥ 30): Higher risk for various health conditions
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a higher BMI despite being healthy. Always consult with healthcare professionals for comprehensive health assessments.
