BMI cannot tell muscle from fat. Waist size matters too: Indian guidelines suggest under 90 cm for men and under 80 cm for women. For children and teenagers, pick "Child (under 18)".
How BMI is calculated
Body mass index compares weight with height:
BMI = weight in kg ÷ (height in metres)²
Example: 62 kg at 165 cm is 62 ÷ 1.65² = 22.8: normal on the Indian cut-offs. A healthy weight at that height is 50.3 to 62.4 kg.
BMI chart for Indians
On the Indian (Asian) cut-offs a normal BMI is 18.5–22.9, 23–24.9 is overweight and 25 or more is obese. WHO's international cut-offs count overweight only from 25.
| Range | Indian (Asian) | WHO |
|---|---|---|
| Underweight తక్కువ బరువు | below 18.5 | below 18.5 |
| Normal సరైన బరువు | 18.5–22.9 | 18.5–24.9 |
| Overweight అధిక బరువు | 23–24.9 | 25–29.9 |
| Obese ఊబకాయం | 25 and above | 30 and above |
Healthy weight for your height
At 5 ft 3 in (160 cm), a healthy weight is 47.3–58.7 kg on the Indian cut-offs. For adults, by height in feet and inches:
| Height | Indian (Asian) | WHO |
|---|---|---|
| 4 ft 10 in (147 cm) | 40.1–49.8 kg | 40.1–54.1 kg |
| 4 ft 11 in (150 cm) | 41.5–51.5 kg | 41.5–56.0 kg |
| 5 ft 0 in (152 cm) | 42.9–53.3 kg | 42.9–57.9 kg |
| 5 ft 1 in (155 cm) | 44.3–55.0 kg | 44.3–59.8 kg |
| 5 ft 2 in (157 cm) | 45.8–56.9 kg | 45.8–61.8 kg |
| 5 ft 3 in (160 cm) | 47.3–58.7 kg | 47.3–63.8 kg |
| 5 ft 4 in (163 cm) | 48.8–60.6 kg | 48.8–65.9 kg |
| 5 ft 5 in (165 cm) | 50.3–62.5 kg | 50.3–68.0 kg |
| 5 ft 6 in (168 cm) | 51.9–64.4 kg | 51.9–70.1 kg |
| 5 ft 7 in (170 cm) | 53.5–66.4 kg | 53.5–72.2 kg |
| 5 ft 8 in (173 cm) | 55.1–68.4 kg | 55.1–74.4 kg |
| 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) | 56.7–70.4 kg | 56.7–76.6 kg |
| 5 ft 10 in (178 cm) | 58.4–72.5 kg | 58.4–78.8 kg |
| 5 ft 11 in (180 cm) | 60.1–74.6 kg | 60.1–81.1 kg |
| 6 ft 0 in (183 cm) | 61.8–76.7 kg | 61.8–83.4 kg |
BMI for men and women, and by age
For adults, BMI is read the same way for men and women and at every age from 18, so the calculator does not ask for sex or exact age. What differs is the waist, which adds what BMI misses: Indian guidelines suggest under 90 cm for men and under 80 cm for women.
- For children and teenagers, doctors read BMI on a BMI-for-age chart (for Indian children from 5 to 18, the IAP 2015 charts): pick "Child (under 18)" for the BMI alone. In pregnancy, too, doctors go by other charts.
- BMI is a quick check for adults, not a diagnosis: muscle weighs more than fat, so athletes can read high.
- To move towards a healthy weight, the calorie calculator gives the calories a day to lose or gain weight.
బీఎంఐ అంటే ఏమిటి?
బీఎంఐ (బాడీ మాస్ ఇండెక్స్) అంటే బరువు (కిలోలు)ను ఎత్తు (మీటర్లు) వర్గంతో భాగిస్తే వచ్చే సంఖ్య. భారతీయులకు 18.5–22.9 సరైన బరువు, 23–24.9 అధిక బరువు, 25 లేదా అంతకన్నా ఎక్కువ ఊబకాయం. 18 ఏళ్లు నిండిన స్త్రీ, పురుషులకు ఇవే ప్రమాణాలు; పిల్లలకు వయసు ప్రకారం వేరే చార్టులు ఉంటాయి. ఇది వైద్య పరీక్ష కాదు: సందేహం ఉంటే డాక్టర్‌ను సంప్రదించండి.
Questions
Why are the Indian cut-offs lower than WHO's?
At the same BMI, South Asians tend to carry more body fat and get diabetes and heart disease at lower weights. So the Asian cut-offs (WHO's for the Asia-Pacific, which Indian doctors use) count overweight from 23 and obesity from 25, where WHO's international ones use 25 and 30. India's 2025 guideline (Misra and others, Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome) goes further: it drops "overweight" and calls a BMI over 23 obesity, stage 1, or stage 2 when the waist is large or there is a related illness such as diabetes.
How do I turn feet and inches into centimetres?
Feet × 12, plus the inches, times 2.54: 5 ft 5 in is 65 inches, or 165.1 cm. Pick "Feet + inches" and the calculator does it for you; put the inches in their own box, since 5.5 ft is 5 ft 6 in, not 5 ft 5 in.
