Metric BMI is kilograms divided by height in meters squared. US BMI is 703 times pounds divided by height in inches squared. The label is the WHO adult category for that BMI, rounded to one decimal, from severe thinness below 16.0 through very severe obesity at 40.0 and above. This is a screening estimate, not a diagnosis.

Questions
Is this BMI a diagnosis?
No. It is a screening estimate from height and weight. It does not diagnose a condition, and it is not a substitute for a clinician.
Which BMI categories are used?
The labels follow WHO adult cutoffs, using BMI rounded to one decimal: severe thinness below 16.0, moderate thinness 16.0–16.9, mild thinness 17.0–18.4, normal weight 18.5–24.9, overweight 25.0–29.9, obese class I 30.0–34.9, severe obesity class II 35.0–39.9, and very severe obesity class III at 40.0 and above.
Do you save my height and weight?
