Is BMI a Bad Measure?
Martica explains why body mass index is not a good indicator of fatness for some people.
What Is Measured?
The Body Mass Index calculator, or BMI calculator, determines your level of body fat by evaluating your height, weight and gender. The calculation will indicate that you are underweight, normal weight, overweight or if you are obese. There are three categories of obesity: moderate, severe and very severe. Calculating BMI is important for your overall health because being underweight or overweight can lead to problems with your health. Please use the BMI calculator and learn more about healthy living.
