You can check your weight status by using the BMI Calculator below. The desirable BMI range for adult (aged 18 and above) is between 18.5 and 25.
BMI = Weight (kg) / [Height (m) x Height (m)]
However, the above value is not true if you are adolescent (aged 9-17.9 years). Thus, the BMI-for-Age value have been used for this age group. The following BMI calculator is a combination of both BMI and BMI-for-Age, which make it possible to be use by both adolescents and adults.
- If Your BMI is Less than 18.5, you are underweight
- If Your BMI is 18.5 to less than 25, your weight is desirable
- If Your BMI is 25 to less than 30, you are overweight
- If Your BMI is 30 or more, you are obese
