About BMI Calculator
Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) using both WHO international standards and Asia-Pacific cutoffs recommended for Indian adults. For South Asians, the ICMR recommends lower cutoffs — overweight begins at BMI 23 (not 25) and obesity at 27.5 (not 30). Shows healthy weight range for your height, BMI category, and what it means for your health.

CMR 2024 guidelines: For Indians, overweight = BMI ≥23 (not ≥25), obese Grade I = ≥25 (not ≥30). Standard WHO cutoffs underestimate cardiovascular and diabetes risk in South Asians.
