Read More »Using body mass index (BMI) is one way a person can determine whether or not their weight is healthy for them. BMI takes both height and weight into consideration. Carrying too much or too little weight can increase a person’s risk of health problems , either in the present or the future. A person’s BMI is not the only factor that affects this risk. Other tools for assessing whether or not a person has a healthy weight or body composition for them include waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, and body fat percentage. However, BMI is a useful starting point. This article provides some tools for people to work out their BMI. Share on Pinterest Goodboy Picture Company/Getty Images BMI calculators These calculators and charts can give an indication of whether or not a person’s weight may affect their risk of health problems. This article publishes the calculators courtesy of The Calculator Site. There are two calculation options available: metric and imperial. BMI charts To use the charts below, a person can find their weight in pounds along the top and their height in feet and inches down the side. They can then look across to find their BMI. There are two charts. If a person’s weight is 245 pounds (lb) or under, they should use the first chart. If their weight is over 250 lb, they should look at the second one. The shaded areas correspond to BMI values that indicate either a moderate weight, overweight, or obesity. In addition, researchers and doctors divide obesity into three categories : Class 1: BMI is 30–34.9.

They should ask a doctor or dietitian for advice. BMI of 18.5–24.9 A BMI of 18.5–24.9 indicates that a person has a healthy weight for their height. By maintaining a healthy weight, they can lower their risk of developing serious health problems. BMI of 25–29.9 A BMI of 25–29.9 indicates that a person is slightly overweight. A doctor may advise them to lose some weight for health reasons. They should talk with a doctor or dietitian for advice. BMI of over 30 A BMI of over 30 indicates that a person has obesity. Their health may be at risk if they do not lose weight. They should talk with a doctor or dietitian for advice. Varying cutoff points Some evidence suggests that the associations between BMI, body fat percentage, and body fat distribution may differ across populations due to variations in sex, race, and ethnicity. A Brazilian study from 2017 looked at the correlation between BMI and body fat percentage in 856 adult males and females. They concluded that to predict obesity-type body fat percentage, the standard BMI threshold of 29.9 kilograms per square meter (kg/m2) was appropriate for males but that a more suitable cutoff point for females appeared to be 24.9 kg/m2. In 2017, Korean researchers pointed out that people in the Asia-Pacific region often have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease at a BMI below the existing World Health Organization (WHO) cutoff point of 25 kg/m2. In Korea, they added, there is evidence to suggest that almost twice as many people have features of metabolic obesity but a moderate weight compared with the United States. The results of one 2011 study found that Asian American people within the healthy weight range were more likely to have symptoms of metabolic syndrome than their non-Hispanic white counterparts. The following table by the WHO shows some comparisons and cutoff points that may apply. Doctors may use these variations when advising or treating conditions in specific people. Underweight < 18.50 < 18.50 Severe thinness < 16 < 16 Moderate thinness 16–16.99 16–16.99 Mild thinness 17–18.49 17–18.49 Normal range 18.5–24.99 18.5–22.99
