Body Mass Index (BMI) Tool

Your scale alone can't always tell you if you are too heavy. A tool called the body mass index (BMI) can help you see if your weight raises your risk for health problems. It compares how much you weigh with how tall you are. The goal for most people is a score between 18 and 25.

How tall are you? What do you weigh?
