Go to www.nhibi.nih.gov/bmicalc.htm for an easy-to-use calculator to determine your BMI. Or, you can download one of the many BMI apps to your smartphone. Note: BMI is a screening tool and not necessarily a hard and fast rule. A person’s body type, muscle mass, and health status should be factored into determining a healthy weight.

You use the same calculation to figure the BMI for a child older than 2 years of age, but the result isn’t interpreted the same as in Table 4-1. Check with your pediatrician for the correct interpretation of a child’s BMI.
