BMI Calculator

A BMI calculator is one of the many ways to determine when extra pounds translate into health risks. BMI takes into account a person’s weight and height to calculate total body fat in adults.

Someone with a BMI of 26 to 27 is about 20 percent overweight, which is generally believed to carry moderate health risks. A BMI result of 30 and higher is considered obese. The higher the BMI calculator values, the greater the risk of developing additional health problems.
