What is BMI Chart?

A BMI chart converts the healthy body mass index band into a weight range for each height, which is far easier to use than the raw number. Rather than asking 'is 82 kg a healthy weight?', the chart asks 'for 1.80 m, what weight range is healthy?' — and the answer is a band, not a point. The chart below covers common adult heights in both metric and imperial units. Above the table, entering your own height gives the exact range for you. Remember that the range shifts with frame size and muscle mass, so treat the edges as soft boundaries.

Common Uses for BMI Chart

Look up the healthy weight range for a given height

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I read a BMI chart?

Find your height row, then read the weight range across: that is the range that keeps you in the 18.5–24.9 healthy band. Anything above or below is classified as overweight, obesity or underweight.

Why is the healthy weight given as a range?

Because healthy body weight depends on frame size, muscle mass and age, not just height. A range reflects that variation; a single number would be falsely precise.

Does the chart apply to everyone?

It applies to adults aged about 20–65. Athletes, pregnant women, children and older adults need different reference points.
