Calculate Your Body Mass Index
What is your ideal weight?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
** BMI does not differentiate between body fat and muscle mass. Therefore, athletes, body builders and people who have a lot of muscle bulk will have a higher BMI but are not overweight or obese.
Classification | BMI |
Underweight | <19 |
Ideal BMI | 19-25 |
Overweight | 25-30 |
Obese | >30 |
Severely Obese | >35 |
Morbidly Obese | >40 |
Super Obese | >50 |
Women: Desirable body mass is 21-23. Obesity (20 percent above the desirable range) begins at 27.5. Serious obesity (40% above) begins at 31.5.
Men: Desirable body mass is 22 to 24. Obesity begins at 28.5, and serious obesity begins at 33.

Dr. Maki was very good in explaining what was going on, and less than 3 days later I had gotten rid of a cough that I had previously had for more than a month. Lilly
