Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick way to check if you have a healthy body weight for height. Check your BMI in the graph below, and speak to your doctor if you have any concerns. If your weight is in the orange to red range, your health may be at risk.

However, BMI may not be accurate if you are an athlete or very muscular (muscle weighs more than fat). Use BMI together with waist circumference to calculate your risk.
