How to use BMI calculator

Choose metric (cm, kg) or imperial (ft/in, lb). Enter your measurements. The calculator shows BMI and a category band. It does not account for muscle mass, pregnancy, or age — talk to a clinician for health decisions.

Enter height and weight to get BMI and the standard WHO category. BMI is a screening number, not a diagnosis.
