Are you concerned about how healthy your weight is?

Healthy weight is more than just a number on a scale. Your Body Mass Index, or BMI, uses a scientific formula calculated from your weight and height to determine whether your weight is healthy.

Your BMI should not be too low, and it should not be too high. A high BMI could be an indication of any of the following:

  • obesity
  • heart disease
  • diabetes
  • cancer

The results of a BMI are as follows:

BMI Score Indication
Below 20 slender-lean
20 to 25 ideal weight range
25 to 30 overweight (25-27 could be healthy range if large-boned and heavily muscled)
30+ very overweight/high risk
40+ extremely overweight / high risk for health complications

Please note that BMI may be less accurate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have high muscle mass. If you have chronic health problems, we recommend discussing your weight-loss program with your physician.
