For adults, a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9 is in the healthy weight category. Enter your height to see the weight range that matches it. This tool is for adults aged 20 and older.

Good to know

• BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. A weight outside this range doesn't by itself mean you're unhealthy, and a weight inside it doesn't guarantee good health.
• BMI can be misleading for very muscular people, older adults, and during pregnancy. It doesn't apply to children and teens.
• Waist size adds useful information: try the waist size check. To work out your current BMI, use the adult BMI calculator.
• If you want to lose or gain weight, talk to a doctor or registered dietitian about a safe, realistic plan.
