The BMI Table

Below is the BMI table that can be used to determine body mass index. For the purposes of presentation, the BMI table has been divided into two charts. You may need to consult the second table to determine your BMI. An adult can also figure out his or her body mass index by going to the BMI Calculator.

To use the BMI table, find the appropriate height (in inches) in the left-hand column labeled Height. Move across to a given weight (in pounds). You may need to consult the second chart to find your weight. The number at the top of the column is the BMI at that height and weight. Pounds have been rounded off.
