Body Mass Index Calculator

Your BMI or Body Mass Index is a rough estimation of the  state of your health in relation to your weight and height.

The BMI calculator should only be used by adults and does not apply to anyone under the age of 18. The results also do not apply to pregnant women.

The BMI calculator is not a perfect solution or an exact guide and so shouldn’t be used for a medical diagnosis.

The results shown do not take into consideration individual body shape or muscle density; ie. an athletic person with a large muscle mass may get an incorrect reading.

What The BMI Results Mean

You will not need any kind of weight loss product or diet aid.
