What does BMI mean?

BMI stands for Body Mass index. It is used to give you an idea of whether you’re underweight, overweight or an ideal weight for your height. It’s useful to know because if your weight increases or decreases outside of the ideal range, your health risks may increase.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is an indicator of how healthy your weight is, given your height.

How accurate is BMI?

The BMI is a useful measurement for most people over 18. However there are some limitations to be aware of as it may be influenced by age, gender and ethnicity.

Speak to your doctor, an Accredited Practicing Dietitian or a physical health professional about your weight.

If you're pregnant, the BMI does not apply. You should seek advice from your healthcare professional on what a healthy weight is.
