BMI Chart Introduction

The BMI chart is a tool where you can easily find your body mass index (BMI). It contains the weight and height on the horizontal and vertical axis. This arrangement makes it extremely easy for a doctor and patient to read the chart easily. Also, it contains the actual value of the BMI on various different lines. These lines have different values and colors. Each color defines a particular BMI or health category such as underweight, healthy, overweight, and obese.

The BMI is different for children and adults. This difference exists because children are still in their formative years and therefore they grow faster as compared to adults. When children reach puberty, their body mass index changes at a great pace. Because at this moment, children gain height and weight very frequently.

Note: The chart provided on this website is just for men and women whose age is 20 or more.

How to Read BMI Chart?

It's a very easy process. Follow the steps below:

Firstly, locate your height on the Y-axis (up to down). Whether your height is in feet and inches or in centimeters, you can locate anyone of them.
Now locate your weight on the X-axis (left to right). The chart provides weight in kg and lbs. So, you can choose any one of them.
Lastly, find the intersecting point of your chosen height and weight.
The value you get on the intersecting point is your body mass index.
After finding the BMI value, check out the health category for that BMI.
For that, check out the color of your BMI value.
Now you can determine your health category using that color. Whether it's blue, green, yellow, orange, or red. Blue defines Underweight, Green defines Healthy, Yellow defines Overweight, Orange defines Obese, and Red defines Extremely Obese.

What is BMI?

BMI stands for "Body Mass Index". It's a measure of body fat according to your height and weight. Mostly, it is used to indicate whether you are underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese.

It's calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by the square of height (in meters). Check out the BMI formula below.

BMI Formula

For Metric Units:

BMI = Weight_(kilograms) / Height²_(meters)

For US/UK Units:

BMI = 703 × Weight_(pounds) / Height²_(inches)

It's complex and time taking to calculate BMI manually using a formula. So, it's better to use the BMI Chart or BMI Calculator to make it easier and faster.

BMI Categories

Less than 18.5: If your BMI is less than 18.5, you are in the underweight category. So, it's recommended to gain some weight by eating healthy food.
Between 18.5 and 24.9: It defines you are under the normal or healthy weight category. Also, it indicates the lowest risk of serious illness.
Between 25 and 29.9: If you lie in this category, you are considered overweight. So, it's recommended to lose some weight by proper dieting and exercising.
Over 30: If your BMI is 30+, you are under obese category. Also, it defines the unhealthy conditions for your body. Under this category, you are putting yourself at a very high risk of serious disease. Therefore, you should lose your body weight by changing your diet and exercising.

Note: BMI Categories are not the accurate and proper way to measure your body fat. It depends on other factors too. Also, the information provided on our website is just an opinion only. So, always consult with your medical advisor or doctor for more accurate measurements.
