Adult BMI Chart & Weight Reference

Read the adult BMI chart

The same standard adult BMI thresholds are used here for ages 20 and over, regardless of sex. The category table is based on unrounded BMI, so a value just below 25 remains in the 18.5 to below 25 interval.

Weight examples by height

These are mathematical reference values, not recommended weights for an individual. Each column multiplies height in metres squared by the stated BMI. The values are rounded and do not account for body composition or personal circumstances.

Healthy weight	18.5 – < 25
Overweight	25 – < 30
Obesity — class 1	30 – < 35
Obesity — class 2	35 – < 40
Obesity — class 3	≥ 40
