Check Your Body Mass Index


Body Mass Index (BMI) is an internationally recognised measure for determining whether you are within healthy weight guidelines, overweight or obese.

Your BMI is a calculation of the ratio between your height and your weight, resulting in a number usually between 18 and 50. Your BMI will fall into a classification as follows:

  BMI Range Classification  
  18 - 24.99 Acceptable  
  25 - 29.99 Overweight  
  30 - 39.99 Obese
 
  40 - 49.99 Grossly Obese
 
  50 Plus Super Obese
 


There are many health problems (co-morbidities) associated with being overweight such as high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease and infertility.
