The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a number that is used in the medical field to classify an adult as underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese. |

"The BMI is a reliable indicator of total body fat, which is related to the risk of disease and death. The score is valid for both men and women but it does have some limits..." "It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build. It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle mass." In other words, your BMI is just a general guideline. Use this tool in conjunction with the Body Fat and Waist-to-Hip Ratio calculators to get a better feel for your body composition and health risks. |
