Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation done using your height and weight.  The number that is calculated will place you in categories of underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese.  BMI is a good indicator of where you are in the spectrum of weight and health.  However, the calculation has limitations:

• It may place athletes and individuals with a muscular build in a higher category
• It may place older individuals and those who have lost muscle in lower categories
