BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a simple calculation using your weight and height that helps screen for underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity. While it doesn’t measure body fat directly, research shows it correlates with body fat and health risks.

Think of BMI as a starting point for understanding your health. To get a complete picture, your healthcare provider may consider diet, activity, family history, and other health screenings.

Take the first step toward better health by checking your BMI today!

BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. Click here to learn more about BMI and how its used to measure obesity.
