Enter two measurements.
Local screening estimate · adults 20+ only
This falls in the adult BMI range of 18.5 to 24.9.
BMI is a screening measure, not a diagnosis. It does not account for muscle mass, pregnancy, age, sex, or where fat is distributed. For children and teens, use an age-and-sex percentile tool and discuss health questions with a qualified clinician.
Who is this BMI calculator for?
This page follows the adult BMI categories for people 20 and older. BMI for children and teens uses age-and-sex percentiles instead, so this page does not classify them.
How is BMI calculated?
BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Imperial pounds and feet/inches are converted before applying the same formula.
Does a BMI category diagnose health?
No. CDC and NHLBI describe BMI as a screening measure that should be considered with other information such as medical history, physical examination, and laboratory findings.
