1Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is an easy way to estimate body fatness for most people. It is used to screen for
weight categories that may lead to health problems. The healthiest BMI for adults is 19 to 24. Numbers in this chart were rounded up for ease of use.
Use this table to calculate your BMI. Find your height in the far left column. Then find your weight in the top row. Where your height and weight meet is your BMI.
