Find out about your BMI Score
an indicator of your body fat, based on height and weight
Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indicator of your body fat, based on height and weight. Body fat is related to the risk of developing obesity-associated diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and more. Note: The BMI calculation works for both men and women, but may overestimate body fat in those with a muscular build or large skeletal frame, and underestimate body fat of older persons or those who have lost muscle mass.

Underweight
If you have a genetic predisposition to leanness, or if you are a competitive runner or other endurance athlete, and you are a healthy individual, a BMI in this range may be appropriate. Even if you are genetically thin, it is still important to focus on healthy eating habits and a variety of physical activities. However, intentional weight loss to reach this range if it's not your norm is not advised, as it places you at risk for malnutrition and offers no additional health benefits.
Healthy Weight For Most Adults
According to medical experts, your weight falls into the healthy range: it represents the lowest level of risk of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. To further reduce your risk, focus on healthy eating with a menu that is low in saturated fat, and rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, as well as staying active for life.* Congratulations if you have recently reduced your weight to this level; staying committed to a healthy lifestyle will help you maintain both your weight and your well-being.

Overweight
Assuming you do not have extra muscle mass or a large skeletal frame, your weight falls into the overweight range. This means a slightly increased risk of health problems like heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. For example, your level of risk is similar to that of someone with a serum LDL-C level > 3.* The good news is, through healthier eating and regular physical activity, you can work towards reducing your weight and risk of disease. Focus on making small, long-term changes that you can easily build into your lifestyle and sustain.

Obese
Assuming you do not have a high level of muscle mass and carry a large skeletal frame, your weight falls into the obese range. This increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. For example, your level of risk is similar to that of someone with a serum LDL-C level > 4.* The good news is, by losing just 10% of your current weight, you can help reduce your risk of all these conditions – or, if you already have one of these conditions, you can bring it into better control.
