It helps give an idea of a person\u2019s body fat levels and is often used by healthcare professionals to assess the risk for certain health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.<\/p>\n

You can calculate your BMI using this formula:<\/p>\n

BMI = weight (kg) \u00f7 height (m)\u00b2<\/b><\/p>\n

Or, you can use any number of free online BMI calculators for quick results.<\/p>\n

For example, a person that weighs 70 kilograms and is 1.7 metres tall would have a BMI value of 24.2. This would classify them as being of normal weight, according to the BMI categories outlined below. These categories were developed based on large studies that looked at how different BMI levels relate to the risk of certain health problems, upon which ranges were defined within which people tend to have the lowest health risks and where the risks start to increase.
