Using BMI carefully

BMI is a simple height–weight ratio used in population health. It does not diagnose disease and can misclassify muscular or elderly people.

  1. Open the BMI calculator.
  2. Enter height and weight in the units shown.
  3. Read the category as a rough signal only.

For personal health decisions, talk to a qualified clinician — Make QR calculators are informational aids.
