BMI cannot tell muscle from fat. Waist size matters too: Indian guidelines suggest under 90 cm for men and under 80 cm for women. For children and teenagers, doctors use age charts instead.
How BMI is calculated
Body mass index compares weight with height:
BMI = weight in kg ÷ (height in metres)²
Example: 62 kg at 165 cm is 62 ÷ 1.65² = 22.8: normal on the Indian cut-offs. A healthy weight at that height is 50.4 to 62.3 kg.
Indian and WHO cut-offs
| Range | Indian (Asian) | WHO |
|---|---|---|
| Underweight తక్కువ బరువు | below 18.5 | below 18.5 |
| Normal సరైన బరువు | 18.5–22.9 | 18.5–24.9 |
| Overweight అధిక బరువు | 23–24.9 | 25–29.9 |
| Obese ఊబకాయం | 25 and above | 30 and above |
Good to know
- BMI is a quick check for adults, not a diagnosis: muscle weighs more than fat, so athletes can read high.
- Waist size adds what BMI misses: Indian guidelines suggest under 90 cm for men and under 80 cm for women.
- For children and teenagers, and in pregnancy, doctors use other charts.
Questions
Why are the Indian cut-offs lower than WHO's?
At the same BMI, South Asians tend to carry more body fat and get diabetes and heart disease at lower weights. So the Indian consensus guidelines count overweight from 23 and obesity from 25, where WHO uses 25 and 30.
How do I turn feet and inches into centimetres?
Feet × 12, plus the inches, times 2.54: 5 ft 5 in is 65 inches, or 165.1 cm. Pick "Feet + inches" and the calculator does it for you.
