A tool with context / Adults 20+
Your BMI.
One part of the picture.
BMI relates weight to height. It does not distinguish fat from muscle or bone, and cannot diagnose health or determine treatment eligibility.
Interpret it alongside your history, examination and other health measures. This adult tool is not for children or teens, and is not designed to assess weight during pregnancy.
