Check your BMI
The BMI examines Body Mass in relation to height. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a tool that can be used to tell how healthy a person's weight is. You can use the BMI to find out if you're a healthy weight for your height. It can be though difficult to interpret weight loss or gain. The BMI does not differentiate fat weight from fat-free weight. BMI has only a modest correlation with percent body fat predicted from hydrostatic weighing.
The BMI weight ranges, as set out by the World Health Organisation (WHO), are outlined below.
- If your BMI is less than 18.4, you're underweight for your height.
- If your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9, you're an ideal weight for your height.
- If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9, you're over the ideal weight for your height.
- If your BMI is between 30 and 39.9, you're obese.
- If your BMI is over 40, you're very obese.
