BMI Calculator
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation that is determined as a ratio of person’s weight to height. BMI helps to understand whether someone is at a healthy weight, underweight, overweight or obese.
| Underweight | Less than 18.5 |
| Normal | 18.5 – 24.9 |
| Overweight | 25 – 29.9 |
| Obese | 30 and over |
BMI is an indicator of the risk a person holds for developing certain health issues, which are directly linked to their weight.

The results acquired from the BMI calculator should be discussed with a dietitian or medical practitioner. This is important, as BMI is generally considered along with a range of other factors before taking any action.
If you’re underweight, these are some of the health problems that you are likely to face – anemia, bone weakness, growth and development issues, malnutrition and lowered immunity.
Appropriate portion size and food intake covering essential nutrients and vitamins is necessary to reach a healthy weight.
Needless to say, as the weight of an individual increases or decreases out of the healthy range, the risk of health problems increases.
On the other hand, overweight and obesity increase the risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease, respiratory issues, cancer, arthritis and hypertension.
Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a heart-healthy diet and increasing physical activity can significantly improve your immunity and keep you away from such health issues.
While BMI is purely an indicator, it is an excellent starting point for dietary discussions, plans along with exercise and healthy lifestyle.
