About BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in metres. This calculator uses the Asian-Indian (WHO Asia-Pacific / ICMR) cut-offs — overweight at BMI 23 and obese at 25 — which are lower than the generic WHO thresholds (25 and 30) because South Asians face higher metabolic risk at a lower BMI. It is a screening estimate only and should be interpreted alongside other health factors.
