Your body mass index (BMI) is an estimate of your body fat that is based on your height and weight. Doctors use BMI, along with other health indicators, to assess an adult’s current health status and potential health risks.
Typically, people with higher BMIs have a greater likelihood of developing conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and sleep apnea. But many factors — including family history, eating habits and activity level — a influence your overall health.
BMI calculator results are grouped into the broad categories of underweight, healthy weight, overweight and obese.
