How it works
BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres, squared. Turned around, the weight is the BMI multiplied by the height squared.
The result is only a calculation. It does not set a goal, and one number does not suit every body.
Worked example
At a height of 66 in, a BMI of 22 works out to a weight of 136.3 lb.
Questions
Is there a best BMI to aim for?
This tool does not say. Choosing a number is for you and your doctor, and BMI is only one rough measure.
Why does height matter so much?
BMI uses height squared, so a small change in height changes the result more than you might expect.
Does BMI work for everyone?
It is a rough screening figure for adults. It does not separate muscle from fat, and it is not used for children.
