The Body Mass Index calculator is just one of many tools you can use to help guage your weight relative to your height.

For the average person, the BMI calculator will give you a good indication of your thinness or fattness.

Which one are you?

The BMI calculator should not be relied upon for certain people. For example: Bodybuilders, Children, Chinese, Indian and Malaysian’s do not show BMI’s that are a true reflection of their relative body mass.

In addition to this, some countries have their own scale for checking the BMI.

Please also take into account that your waistline is another important risk factor measurement.

Males if your waist is over 94cm your risk of developing a chronic disease is HEIGHTENED, if you measure over 102cm the risk of chronic disease if GREATLY INCREASED.

Females if your waistline is under 80cm, you are doing very well and have no inreased risk of chronic disease.  If you come over 88cm you are at a GREATLY INCREASED risk of chronic disease.
