BMI Calculator
Having a healthy body weight can mean different things for different people.
A common way to measure body fat is body mass index (BMI) – calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared (kg/m2). BMI is a tool that healthcare professionals use when diagnosing and discussing your weight and any associated health risks. Research shows that a high BMI is associated with a decreased life expectancy of up to 10 years.1
Note: BMI values do not apply to children, pregnant women, people with muscular build (e.g. athletes and body builders) or the elderly.
Waist circumference
High waist circumference is an important indication of excess abdominal fat which can increase health risks including obesity-related complications even with a normal BMI.
