BMI CALCULATOR |
|
|
Do you know your Body Mass Index (BMI)? BMI is used
to estimate your total amount of body fat. It is
calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms
by your height in metres squared. Using your BMI,
you can determine whether you are overweight, underweight
or of ideal weight.
The BMI acts as a general guide but remember there may be reasons to modify the
interpretation and you should discuss this with your doctor if you were concerned.
Use this interactive BMI calculator to get your BMI result.
