BMI & Health Risk Calculator

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a useful screening tool, but it doesn’t tell the whole story about your health. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive BMI & Health Risk Calculator that considers your unique health profile to give you a more complete picture of your wellbeing.

What Makes This Calculator Different?

Unlike standard BMI calculators that only consider your height and weight, our tool incorporates important health factors that can significantly impact your overall risk profile

How to Use This Calculator

Step 1: Enter Your Measurements 

Choose between metric (kg/cm) or imperial (lbs/ft) units and enter your current height and weight. 

Step 2: Select Your Health Factors 

Review the list of health conditions and check any that apply to you. Select “None of the above” if you don’t have any of the listed conditions.

Step 3: Get Your Results 

Your personalized BMI calculation will appear along with a risk assessment that combines your BMI category with your selected health factors, giving you a “Moderate,” “Elevated,” or other risk classification.

Health Conditions We Consider

Our calculator evaluates several key health factors:

  • High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): Elevated blood pressure combined with excess weight can increase cardiovascular risk
  • Type 2 Diabetes: Weight management plays a crucial role in diabetes prevention and management
  • Sleep Apnea: Often linked to excess weight, this condition can affect your overall health and quality of life
  • Heart Disease: Weight and cardiovascular health are closely interconnected
  • High Cholesterol: Excess weight can contribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels
  • Joint or Mobility Issues: Additional weight can place extra stress on joints and affect mobility
  • Fatty Liver Disease: Often associated with obesity and metabolic conditions
  • PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): This hormonal condition is frequently linked to weight management challenges

Understanding Your Results

BMI Categories:

  • Underweight: BMI below 18.5
  • Normal: BMI 18.5-24.9
  • Overweight: BMI 25-29.9
  • Obese: BMI 30 and above

Risk Assessment Levels: Your overall health risk assessment combines your BMI with your selected health conditions to provide one of several risk classifications, such as Moderate, Elevated, or High. This integrated approach helps you understand not just where you fall on the BMI scale, but how your weight interacts with other aspects of your health.

What To Do With Your Results

Your BMI and health risk assessment is a starting point for conversations with your healthcare provider. If your results indicate you’re in the overweight or obese category, or if you have a moderate or elevated risk assessment, consider discussing the following with your doctor:

  • Weight Management Options: Including lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and exercise programs
  • Medical Interventions: Such as prescription weight loss medications if appropriate for your situation
  • Health Monitoring: Regular check-ups to monitor the conditions you’ve selected
  • Personalized Treatment Plans: Tailored to your specific health profile and goals

The Importance of Professional Medical Advice

While this calculator provides valuable insights, it’s not a substitute for professional medical advice. Your doctor can provide a comprehensive health evaluation that considers factors beyond BMI, such as muscle mass, bone density, family history, and other individual circumstances.
