Reference

BMI Chart.

Visual reference for Body Mass Index categories. Find your BMI range by height and weight using the WHO standard classification system.

BMI Category Scale

Underweight
< 18.5
Normal weight
18.5 – 24.9
Overweight
25.0 – 29.9
Obese Class I
30.0 – 34.9
Obese Class II
35.0 – 39.9
Obese Class III
≥ 40.0

Weight Thresholds by Height

The weight in kg at which each BMI category begins, for common heights.

150 cm ≤ 41.4 kg 41.6–56 kg 56.3–67.3 kg ≥ 67.5 kg
155 cm ≤ 44.2 kg 44.4–59.8 kg 60.1–71.8 kg ≥ 72.1 kg
160 cm ≤ 47.1 kg 47.4–63.7 kg 64–76.5 kg ≥ 76.8 kg
165 cm ≤ 50.1 kg 50.4–67.8 kg 68.1–81.4 kg ≥ 81.7 kg
170 cm ≤ 53.2 kg 53.5–72 kg 72.3–86.4 kg ≥ 86.7 kg

195 cm ≤ 70 kg 70.3–94.7 kg 95.1–113.7 kg ≥ 114.1 kg
200 cm ≤ 73.6 kg 74–99.6 kg 100–119.6 kg ≥ 120 kg

BMI chart limitations.

  • •Does not differentiate between fat and muscle mass.
  • •Same thresholds used for men and women, despite body composition differences.
  • •Not validated for children — use age/sex percentiles instead.
  • •Asian populations may face higher risks at lower BMI values (cutoffs differ).
  • •Older adults may have more body fat at the same BMI than younger adults.
