All of us are concerned about our weight. So many of us fret over our body mass in front of the mirror and on the scales. Our BMI Calculator uses some expert science to tell you if you are obese, overweight, underweight, or if your weight is just fine for your height and age.

BMI or Body Mass Index is a reliable indicator of total body fat and is valid for both men and women. However please keep in mind the following limitations of your BMI score:

• It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build.

• It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle mass.

BMI is calculated with the same formula for children and adults, but the results are interpreted differently. For adults the use of BMI to define overweight does not depend on age or gender. For children aged 2–20 years, BMI is plotted on a growth chart specific for age and gender.


Calculate your BMI Score with the help of A’Safwah BMI Calculator. 

Women tend to believe they look their best at values between 20-22 and men are usually satisfied with a BMI of 23-25. If your BMI is between 17-22, your life expectancy is longer than average. You don't need to lose weight.

If your BMI is between 23 and 25, you are not considered overweight by most people. But if your BMI is 26 or more, that's not good. But you knew that already.
