Calculation

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)²

  1. 70.0 ÷ 1.75² = 22.9

BMI is a quick screening number for adults. It doesn't tell muscle from fat, and different cut-offs apply to children, teenagers and some ethnic groups. Talk to a doctor about your own health.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a healthy BMI?

For adults, 18.5 to 24.9. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25 to 29.9 overweight, and 30 or more is in the obesity range.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

No. It doesn't separate muscle from fat, so very muscular people can score high. It's not used the same way for children and teenagers, and some health bodies use lower cut-offs for people of Asian descent.
