BMI Calculator

A BMI calculator is a tool used to determine a person's body mass index. This section of the eMedTV library provides a BMI calculator to help you figure out your body mass index as well as information to help you interpret your results.

BMI Chart

A BMI chart compiles many variations of height and weight so that body mass index can be calculated without using the BMI formula. This eMedTV resource includes a BMI chart and information to help you understand your results.

BMI Chart for Women

As explained in this eMedTV resource, there is no special BMI chart for women; it is the same measurement tool used by men. A BMI chart for women will work equally well for men.

BMI for Athletes

Using BMI for athletes may not result in an accurate assessment of body fat. As this eMedTV page explains, BMI may overestimate the level of body fat in athletes. This article looks at other ways of assessing athletes' body fat.
