BMI Calculator: What is my BMI? (Body Mass Index)

What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?  This is a measure of body fat based on each individual’s height and weight. It is used to measure body fat levels and associated health risks. The lower the BMI, the lower the health risks. The higher the BMI, the higher the health risks. The high end of the BMI spectrum is referred to as “obese” and is a red flag for serious health risks including various diseases such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, gallstones, and specific cancers. Those with lower BMI’s are considered to be in the “healthy” range and have much lower risks for these health concerns.
