How it's calculated

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)²
Imperial: BMI = 703.07 × weight (lb) ÷ height (in)²
WHO bands: under 18.5 underweight · 18.5–24.9 healthy · 25–29.9 overweight · 30+ obese

BMI compares weight with height and sorts adults into the World Health Organization bands. It is a quick screen for populations, not a diagnosis: it cannot tell muscle from fat, so athletes can read high, and it is not used for children (who use age percentiles) or in pregnancy.
