Healthy BMI

The following chart shows what your BMI calculated with the BMI tables, the BMI Formula or the BMI Calculator might mean in terms of health risk. Body mass index only considers weight, not whether the weight is muscle or fat, and BMI is just one of many factors in determining your health risk, so ask your doctor for help. The table below shows potential risk based on BMI and waist size.
