BMI Calculator: Check Your Body Mass Index

The ToolMasteryHub BMI Calculator is a reliable tool that helps you determine your body mass index, a numerical value of your weight in relation to your height. BMI is widely used as a screening tool to identify potential weight issues in adults.

BMI Categories

• Below 18.5: Underweight - May indicate nutritional deficiency or other health issues
• 18.5 to 24.9: Normal weight - Generally associated with good health
• 25.0 to 29.9: Overweight - May lead to health issues and is a sign to consider lifestyle changes
• 30.0 and Above: Obesity - Increased risk of multiple health problems including heart disease and diabetes

Limitations of BMI

While BMI is useful for most adults, it has some limitations:

• Doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat (athletes may have higher BMI due to muscle mass)
• May not be accurate for elderly individuals who have lost muscle mass
• Not appropriate for pregnant or breastfeeding women
• Different thresholds may apply for certain ethnic groups
• Doesn't account for body fat distribution (where you carry weight matters)
