What does the BMI scale mean?

Got your result? This chart shows what it means. These figures come from the World Health Organisation.

  • Under 18.4 - you are underweight for your height.
  • 18.5 to 24.9 - well done, you are the ideal weight for your height.
  • 25 to 29.9 - oops, you're tipping the scale too much, and are overweight for your height.
  • 30 to 39.9 - this reading means that you are classed as obese.
  • over 40 - you are in the danger zone of obesity.

BMI over 25?

A body mass index of 25+ is a wake-up call. Make some changes to your diet, and start eating healthily to lose weight.

If your BMI is 30+ you are at greater risk of some cancers, heart disease and diabetes type 2. See your doctor for weight-loss advice, make changes to your diet and check out the groundrules for eating healthy and exercise.
