Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • What Is It ?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a relationship between weight and height that is associated with body fat and health risk. There is scientific evidence showing that excess weight increases the risk of many major health problems.

Do you suspect that you're carrying around more pounds than you should? One way to find out is to determine your body mass index (BMI), which evaluates your weight in relation to your height.

It's easy to do. Simply enter your height, weight and age below, and we'll tell you your current BMI and what it indicates. The standards are the same for men and women.
