BMI (body mass index) is a calculated number representing a person's level of fat or obesity level. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a BMI of 30 or above indicates obesity. BMI levels are broken down by weight range and are as follows:
BMI < 18.5 is underweight
BMI 18.5-24.9 is normal weight
BMI 25-29.9 is overweight
BMI 30-39.9 indicates obesity
BMI > 40 indicates morbid obesity
In children, age and gender are considered in tables that are produced for growth charts by the CDC. However, BMI is calculated with the same formula for both children and adults. In general, children are assessed as being underweight if they fall below the 5th percentile and overweight/obese if they fall above the 95th percentile.
Calculating BMI: The Formula
The formula to calculate BMI requires information about a person's height in meters and weight in kilograms. For weight in pounds and height in inches, there is a different formula, but due to rounding, it may not produce the exact same results. The BMI formulas are:
BMI = weight (in kilograms) / height (in meters) ^2
or
BMI = weight (in pounds) / height (in inches) ^2 * 703
BMI < 18.5 is underweight
BMI 18.5-24.9 is normal weight
BMI 25-29.9 is overweight
BMI 30-39.9 indicates obesity
BMI > 40 indicates morbid obesity
