Women naturally carry a higher percentage of body fat than men at any given BMI, which means the standard BMI categories can tell a slightly different story for female health. This calculator uses the universal BMI formula while providing context about how the result relates specifically to women health: healthy weight ranges, the relationship between BMI and conditions like PCOS or osteoporosis, and why body fat percentage can be a useful complementary metric.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters (kg/m²). It provides a simple numeric measure of a person's thickness or thinness. While widely used by health organizations, BMI does not directly measure body fat percentage.
