A healthy weight is vital in lowering your risk of heart disease and cholesterol. Find out if you are at risk with this BMI weight calculation.

Weight and BMI

What is BMI?

Your BMI (some people call it your BMI index) is based on your height and weight. You can work it out by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres, squared.

BMI = weight/(height x height)

So, if you’re 1.75 metres tall and weigh 73kg, your BMI is 73/1.75², or 23.84. That’s in the healthy range.

If your BMI is below 18.5, you’re considered underweight
If your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9, you have a healthy weight for your height
If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9, you’re considered overweight
If your BMI is over 30, you’re considered to be obese

A healthy weight is important to lower your risk of heart disease. But remember, the values are slightly different for people of South Asian origin: they need to keep their BMI under 23 to keep their hearts healthy.
