Adult BMI Chart

The Adult BMI Chart is used to assess if a person is at a healthy weight or not. It provides a range of body mass index (BMI) values based on the person's height and weight. The BMI is a measure of body fatness and can help identify potential health risks associated with being underweight, overweight, or obese.

The Adult BMI Chart is not filed by any specific individual. It is a reference tool used by healthcare professionals and individuals to monitor and assess body mass index (BMI).
