Body Mass Index Calculators*
The lower your BMI the lower your risk of health problems.
Note: Underweight children can be at risk of having eating disorders.
This is especially true if they are overly concerned about losing weight, have
a poor self body image, exercise excessively, or are using laxatives to lose
weight.
