Your BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a number that can indicate if your weight is within a healthy range. The BMI is broadly used by doctors and dietitians who treat obesity. Even though the index does not distinguish between the weight that can be attributed to actual fat and the one belonging to muscle mass, in a clinical setting, it is still a very useful tool for treating patients that wish to overcome obesity or excess weight.
A patient’s BMI is calculated by using a formula that considers their weight in kilograms and height in centimeters squared (BMI= weight [kg]/height [m2]), but it is not necessary for you to do the math, our BMI calculator makes it easy and allows you to calculate your BMI using imperial measurements.
