Welcome to BMI Calculator app, here you will get body mass index (BMI).
Thebody mass index (BMI) orQuetelet index is a value derived from themass (weight) and
height of an individual. The BMI is defined as thebody mass divided by thesquare of thebody
height, and is universally expressed inunits of kg/m 2 , resulting from mass inkilograms and height
inmetres.
The BMI may also be determined using a table or chart which displays BMI as a function of mass
and height using contour lines or colours for different BMI categories, and which may use other
units of measurement (converted to metric units for the calculation).
The BMI is an attempt to quantify the amount of tissue mass (muscle, fat, and bone) in an
individual, and then categorize that person asunderweight,normal weight,overweight,
orobese based on that value. That categorization is the subject of some debate about where on
the BMI scale the dividing lines between categories should be placed. Commonly accepted BMI
ranges are underweight: under 18.5 kg/m 2 , normal weight: 18.5 to 25, overweight: 25 to 30,
obese: over 30. People of Asian descent have different associations between BMI, percentage of
body fat, and health risks than those of European descent, with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes
and cardiovascular disease at BMIs lower than theWHO cut-off point for overweight, 25 kg/m 2 ,
although the cutoff for observed risk varies among different Asian populations.
