A BMI calculator gives you a quick way to compare your weight with your height. The result places an adult into a broad BMI category, but it does not show how much of your weight comes from fat, muscle or bone, and it cannot decide whether you should lose, gain or maintain weight. Use the number as a screening value, then interpret it in the context of your body composition, health background and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key takeaway:<\/strong> The BMI calculator uses height and weight to estimate body mass index (BMI) and place the result within a standard adult weight category. BMI is useful as a quick screening measure, but it is not a direct measure of body fat and is not a diagnosis. For Indian and other South Asian adults, health risk can occur at lower BMI levels than standard general-adult categories suggest, so individual context matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enter your height and weight in the calculator to see your BMI. The calculator uses only these two measurements, so its result should be understood within the limits of the information provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
