The body mass index is an estimation of a person's body fat, according to the National Institutes of Health. To calculate BMI, divide your weight (in pounds) by your height (in inches) squared, and then multiply that number by a conversion factor of 703. This same calculation can be used when measuring weight in kilograms and height in meters, but no conversion factor is needed.
Muscle weighs more than fat, so a muscular person may appear to have a higher BMI, or a frail, inactive person may have more body fat than is healthy. For adults 20 years and older: 1  A BMI below 18.5 (shown in white) is considered underweight. 2  A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 (green) is considered healthy. 3  A BMI of 25 to 29.9 (yellow) is considered overweight. 4  A BMI of 30 or higher (red) is considered obese.
