Body Mass Index (BMI) measures your height to weight ratio and gauges total body fat in adults. It's one of the most accurate ways to determine whether extra pounds can turn into a health risk. To determine body mass index levels (and see how fit you are) simply enter your height (in feet and inches) and your weight (in pounds) in the table below. Your BMI will be calculated for you. Then check with the table on the right side to se how fit you are and if you have a healthy body mass index.
