BMI Calculator


Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number computed using a person's weight and height. It provides a reliable indicator of ideal weight, the deviation from which tells about how predisposed a person is to a number of health issues including heart diseases, high blood pressure, gall stones, diabetes and even certain types of cancers.

Note: The BMI ranges used in this calculator is derived from the BMI guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There are four (4) BMI score results -- underweight, normal, overweight and obese.

Unless a person is born with fast metabolism, having below normal weight warrants health attention. Low weight caused by undereating can mean that the body is not receiving adequate energy. As a result, expect underweight people to easily tire out, be fatigued, irritable and unable to focus and concentrate on their tasks. Over the long term, undereating also increases the risk of developing vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can lower body resistance and cause serious problems. For example, calcium deficiency can lead to osteoporosis.

For people who are already on the heavy and obese sides, there are risk factors to watch out for: 

  • High blood pressure 
  • High levels of bad cholesterol 
  • Low levels of good cholesterol
  • High triglycerides
  • High blood sugar
  • Family history of premature heart disease
  • Physical inactivity
  • Cigarette smoking

Heavy persons who have 2 or more of the risk factors listed above, are highly encouraged to lose weight and reduce, if not totally remove, the risk factors from their lifetsyles. Physical inactivity and smoking are easy enough to do with solid will, discipline and determination. The smallest weight loss can go a long way in lowering the odds for developing diseases linked to obesity.
