Body mass index

Adult screening category

Overweight

BMI is shown to two decimal places. The category uses the unrounded value, so rounding near a boundary does not change it.

Keep this calculation in this tab for up to two hours, then sign in to review it during setup. Nothing is added to your account until you save.

BMI is a screening measure, not a diagnosis or a direct body-fat measurement. Adult categories do not apply to children and teens; pregnancy also needs a different assessment.
