Formula

Example

175 cm and 70 kg → 70 ÷ 1.75² = 22.9 (Healthy).

Frequently asked

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

No — BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat and isn't ideal for athletes, the elderly, or pregnant people. Use it as a rough screen, not a diagnosis.

What's the healthy range?

WHO defines 18.5–24.9 as the healthy range for adults; this varies for children and some populations.

What about waist size or body fat?

Waist-to-height ratio and body-fat percentage are often better health signals than BMI alone — consider tracking those alongside it.
