# About This Calculator

While the standard calculation for BMI is the same regardless of gender, its interpretation can be more nuanced for women. On average, women tend to have a higher percentage of body fat than men at the same BMI level.

The BMI for Women calculator provides a starting point for evaluating healthy weight. However, for a more complete picture of health, it should be considered alongside other measures like waist-to-hip ratio and overall cardiovascular fitness.

Note on Pregnancy: BMI is not used to monitor weight during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, your weight gain goals should be discussed specifically with a healthcare provider based on your pre-pregnancy BMI.

How To Use

Enter your current weight.
Enter your height in cm (Metric) or feet and inches (Imperial).
The result will categorize your BMI according to World Health Organization (WHO) standards.
