USING BMI CALCULATOR TO GAIN MORE INSIGHTS ON HOW HEALTHY YOU ARE<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"The number on your scale is just one of the many indicators for general health. Calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) to gain more insights on how healthy your weight is for your height. This BMI calculator generates results for women, men, teenagers, and children.<\/p>\n

Why We Use BMI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Body Mass Index or BMI can help you understand if you\u2019re a healthy body weight for your height. There\u2019s no \u201cperfect\u201d body weight \u2013 and there\u2019s no perfect calculation for a healthy body weight, either \u2013 but\u00a0knowing your BMI can be a useful indicator of whether you\u2019re at risk from weight-related health problems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It works by\u00a0calculating a number based on your weight and how tall you are<\/strong>. From this number, you can get an idea of whether you are considered underweight, \u201cnormal\u201d weight, overweight, or obese on the BMI scale.<\/p>\n

While BMI measurements are imperfect, they\u2019re still widely used for several reasons.<\/p>\n

First,\u00a0BMI is quick and affordable to measure<\/strong>\u00a0(our tool is completely free) and you can work it out at home with just bathroom scales and a tape measure.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a strong, proven correlation between BMI and body fat and\u00a0hundreds of studies<\/a>\u00a0that show links between BMI and general health<\/strong>, so it can be a useful place to start to learn more about your body and health.<\/p>\n

Understanding BMI Results: Ages 20+<\/strong><\/p>\n

Underweight: Below 18.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

A BMI below 18.5 suggests you could be underweight<\/strong>. There\u2019s a risk that you may not be eating enough, or in some cases, it could be a sign of illness.<\/p>\n

Prolonged malnutrition can lead to osteoporosis, fertility issues, anemia, hair and tooth loss, and other problems. A low BMI doesn\u2019t necessarily mean a medical emergency, but you might want to pay a visit to your doctor to understand if there\u2019s an underlying cause.<\/p>\n

Normal: 18.5 to 24.9<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMI readings between 18.5 and 24.9 are considered within a healthy range<\/strong>. Those on the lower end of the spectrum may want to make sure they\u2019re getting enough nutrients, while those at the top might take a look at their processed sugar and junk food consumption.<\/p>\n

While these numbers are not associated with significantly elevated medical risks, there are other factors to consider. A slim person carrying belly fat may have a \u201cnormal\u201d BMI but be at a greater health risk than a fit, muscular person with an \u201coverweight\u201d BMI.\u00a0Find out more about BMI limitations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overweight: 25 to 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your BMI is above 25, it could mean that you\u2019re overweight and carrying excess body fat<\/strong>. However, because BMI is a measure of body weight and not body fat, you could also have a high BMI if you\u2019re very muscular.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not very active, a BMI within this range is a sign you should consider losing weight through a combination of a healthy diet and exercise. For those who are active and lead a healthy lifestyle, a high BMI result may not be a cause for concern.<\/p>\n

Obese: Above 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your BMI is above 30, you\u2019re almost certainly carrying extra weight<\/strong>. A BMI over 30 has been linked to type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, arthritis, joint inflammation, depression, sleep apnea, and an elevated risk of cancer.<\/p>\n

These dangers are especially elevated for those with a BMI over 40, which is known as \u201cseverely obese\u201d. Obesity can lead to serious health and quality-of-life issues. You should visit your doctor to understand the underlying cause and start taking steps to improve your health.<\/p>\n

Understanding BMI Results: Ages 2-19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Severely Underweight: Below the 3rd Percentile<\/strong><\/p>\n

A BMI below the 3rd percentile almost certainly means that a child or teen is severely underweight<\/strong>. A medical professional should be consulted on how to support healthy weight gain, while considering possible underlying causes.<\/p>\n

Studies on children and young adults<\/a>\u00a0in this percentile show that many suffer from protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), which is linked with higher rates of mortality and further illness.<\/p>\n

Underweight: From the 3rd to 5th Percentile<\/strong><\/p>\n

A BMI below the 5th percentile suggests a child or teenager could be underweight<\/strong>\u00a0. It is possible that they simply have a smaller build, so it\u2019s important to clarify this with a doctor or pediatrician.<\/p>\n

If a child or teen is underweight for their build, there\u2019s a risk that they\u2019re not eating enough nutritious foods, or in some cases, it could be a symptom of an underlying illness.<\/p>\n

Studies show<\/a>\u00a0that under nutrition in kids can lead to metabolic disorders, low energy levels, behavioral issues, and learning disabilities.<\/p>\n

Normal: From the 5th to the 85th Percentile<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMI readings between the 5th and 85th percentile are within a healthy range<\/strong>. If a teenager or child is on the lower or higher end of the spectrum, confirm with a medical expert to make sure they\u2019re getting enough nutrition and exercise.<\/p>\n

In any case, it\u2019s recommended that a child or teen with a healthy BMI still gets support on how to keep their processed sugar and junk food consumption to a minimum for optimal development.<\/p>\n

Continuously tracking BMI, especially during puberty, is a helpful way to make sure a child is on track with their weight.<\/p>\n

BMI calculations do have their limitations<\/a>, so it\u2019s best to receive ongoing guidance from a doctor or pediatrician.<\/p>\n

Overweight: From the 85th to 95th Percentile<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a child or teenager\u2019s BMI percentile is above 90, it could mean that they are overweight and carrying excess body fat<\/strong>. However, because BMI is a measure of body weight and not body fat, they could also have a high BMI if they have more muscle.<\/p>\n

In the case where this child or teenager is not very active, a BMI above the healthy percentile range for their age and gender means\u00a0they need support in losing weight through a combination of a healthy diet and exercise<\/strong>. Additional guidance from a pediatrician or doctor is recommended for getting a child or teen\u2019s health on track.<\/p>\n

Being overweight in childhood often continues on into adulthood, due to genetics and behavioral patterns.\u00a0This can be detrimental to an individual’s emotional health, as well as physical<\/strong>, with increased risks of childhood diabetes in the short term. Long-term effects include varying degrees of illness, so it\u2019s ideal for a child or teen with this result to start getting help now.<\/p>\n

For those who are active and lead a healthy lifestyle, a high BMI result may not be a cause for concern, but you should confirm this with a medical expert.<\/p>\n

Severely Overweight: Above the 95 Percentile<\/strong><\/p>\n

A BMI above the 95th percentile almost certainly indicates that a child or teenager is carrying more weight than what\u2019s considered healthy<\/strong>.\u00a0The CDC states<\/a>\u00a0that unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, and inconsistent sleeping habits are just some of the factors that contribute to childhood and teenage obesity.<\/p>\n

Childhood obesity often leads to obesity in adulthood<\/strong>. An adult BMI over 30 is considered obese, and has been linked to type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, arthritis, depression, and other serious health and quality-of-life issues.<\/p>\n

A child or teen with this result should be assessed by a physician to discover any underlying causes, and clarify what steps to take to improve their health.<\/p>\n

How BMI is Calculated<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. If you use imperial measurements you can calculate BMI with the equation:<\/p>\n

(Weight in pounds \u00f7 height2<\/sup>\u00a0in inches) x 703 = BMI<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMI measurements are taken the same way for men and women. But there are differences in the way this information is interpreted.<\/p>\n

BMI for Women<\/strong><\/p>\n

Often due to social stigma,\u00a0women with higher BMIs report more psychological stress<\/strong>\u00a0and a lower quality of life than men with high BMIs. Those pressures also cause a higher rate of eating disorders among women.<\/p>\n

Women can experience fertility issues and amenorrhea<\/strong>\u00a0if their BMI goes too far in either direction. Note that\u00a0if you\u2019re pregnant or nursing<\/a>, BMI isn\u2019t accurate and shouldn\u2019t be used.<\/p>\n

BMI is also not an accurate way to determine the distribution of body fat, in particular, identifying high-risk abdominal body fat.\u00a0Additional waistline measurements are particularly important for women<\/strong>, who tend to have more body fat than men of the same BMI.\u00a0Studies show<\/a>\u00a0there\u2019s a link between larger BMI and waistline measurements and coronary heart disease in women.<\/p>\n

Relying on BMI as the sole indicator for overall health should also be avoided after menopause. This is because the proportions of muscle, fat, and bone change as you age.\u00a0See more about the limitations of BMI for post-menopausal women<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BMI for Men<\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently,\u00a0the average BMI for males is 28<\/strong>. You might think that the healthy weight for a man of the same height as a woman would be higher. But this isn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n

As BMI increases (over 25), so does ill health. A\u00a0BMI of 28 makes you more than 1,500% more likely to develop diabetes<\/a>\u00a0than if your BMI was 23 or lower.<\/p>\n

Fortunately,\u00a0you\u2019ll benefit from dropping even just a few pounds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BMI for Children and Teenagers<\/strong><\/p>\n

A slightly different method is used to calculate the BMI of children and teenagers aged 2-19 years old.<\/p>\n

BMI is still calculated using height and weight but the results are interpreted and measured by percentile. This is where\u00a0the child or teen\u2019s BMI is compared to others of the same age and sex using data from national surveys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The CDC is just one of the organizations that monitors the results of these surveys and maintains updated charts of BMI percentiles for\u00a0boys<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0girls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Limitations of BMI Measurements<\/strong><\/p>\n

Body Fat Distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMI fails to take fat distribution into account<\/strong>. This is an issue because some areas are far more harmful to health than others. Excess abdominal fat has been\u00a0linked to numerous health issues<\/a>, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Yet a slim person who carries belly fat might still have a \u201cnormal\u201d BMI. You should take your waistline into account, as well as your BMI.<\/p>\n

To work out your body fat percentage, ask your health practitioner to do skinfold testing instead.<\/p>\n

Athletes and Bodybuilders<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMI is a measurement of body weight, but it\u00a0can\u2019t differentiate between muscle, fat, or bone mass<\/strong>. Because of this, a bodybuilder with very little body fat but a lot of muscle might still receive a BMI rating of \u201coverweight\u201d or even \u201cobese\u201d, which would be an inaccurate representation of their actual health.<\/p>\n

If you consider yourself to be a fit person with a large muscle mass, your BMI won\u2019t be a relevant indicator of your health, so reach out to a medical practitioner for guidance.<\/p>\n

Ethnicity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Race and ethnicity factor into BMI readings, as well<\/strong>. The ranges and cut-off points in most general tools are considered international guidelines, although there are some significant variations.<\/p>\n

A 20-year study<\/a>\u00a0found that at the same BMI, Asian people were twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared to white people. It found that Black, Hispanic, and other ethnic minority groups were also more at risk of diabetes.<\/p>\n

Those of Asian origin are also more prone to belly fat than Caucasians. This means they may start to see health problems at a much lower BMI. The\u00a0World Health Organisation looked into this<\/a>\u00a0and suggested that Asian people should class a BMI of 22-25 as overweight (observed risk) and 26-31 as obese (high risk).<\/p>\n

Age<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMI calculations are a less accurate indication of a healthy weight for babies and toddlers aged 0 to 2, and for individuals over the age of 60 to 65.<\/p>\n

When it comes to infants aged 0 to 2<\/strong>, there are many more factors that contribute to weight. Medical experts trained in this area take measurements such as height and head circumference, and compare those to growth percentiles of children the same age, gender, and height, but they\u2019ll also base their assessment on far more nuanced information.<\/p>\n

This is largely based on information you provide, such as general diet, energy, and overall health before determining whether your baby or toddler is at a healthy weight.<\/p>\n

As for the limitations in older adults,\u00a0muscle mass decreases as you get older, while body fat often increases<\/strong>. This means that some older people may fall into a healthy BMI category, while still having a high level of body fat.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re over the age of 60-65, BMI may be an even more unreliable indicator of body fat.<\/p>\n

Pregnant\/Breastfeeding Women<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given your baby\u2019s weight, and the natural increase in your body fat to accommodate and nurture your baby, BMI is not an accurate tool for you while pregnant or nursing. Instead, the CDC recommends monitoring your weight gain throughout pregnancy and postpartum.<\/p>\n

If you know what your BMI was pre-pregnancy, you can compare your current weight with\u00a0CDC\u2019s recommended weight gain<\/a>\u00a0for that BMI. There are separate charts for pregnancy with one baby and pregnancy with twins.<\/p>\n

Post-Menopausal Women<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMI can be particularly misleading for\u00a0postmenopausal women where studies show bone density decreases and body fat increases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is means that the Underweight to Obese categories would have to be shifted down to lower weights in order to more accurately determine whether you\u2019re potentially at risk for weight-related health complications. So, whereas a BMI of 30 is the cut off for obesity,\u00a0studies show<\/a>\u00a0that the cut off should be lower for post-menopausal women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
