Body Mass Index Calculator
Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used to indicate if you are overweight, obese, underweight or normal. BMI is a single number which expresses a relationship between height, body surface area, and body weight. BMI can be very useful because it correlates very closely to your body fat percentage which is much more difficult to measure. The BMI is calculated from your height and weight to give a value as to your body fat.
