BMI Calculator
Calculate body mass index from height and weight. BMI is a screening measure, not a diagnosis.
What this calculator does
This tool calculates BMI from entered height and weight. BMI cannot determine health by itself. It does not capture all differences in growth or body composition. Children and teenagers need age- and sex-specific growth-chart interpretation by a qualified healthcare professional; adult cut-offs should not be applied.
