Calculate your BMI score using the BMI calculator below. The calculator will figure out your body mass index category (underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese). This body mass index calculator is based on the standard BMI measurements that takes your weight and height and basically tells you if you have an unhealthy body weight. The BMI calculator works for adults, both men and women above age 19. It is a good indicator of the amount of body fat you have, which is directly related to the risk of various diseases and early death.
To qualify for a bariatric procedure with My Bariatric Solutions, your BMI must be 25+.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. It does not represent an accurate percentage of body fat, and does not take into account the individual’s bone density or muscle mass.
