Calculate adult BMI using metric or local default units and understand its limits in Oman.
Direct answer
BMI equals weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. For imperial inputs, the equivalent formula multiplies pounds divided by inches squared by 703. The localized calculator uses metric defaults.
What BMI can show
BMI is a screening measure that groups adult weight relative to height. It does not directly measure body fat, fitness, muscle, pregnancy, health condition, or individual risk. Population cutoffs do not replace clinical assessment.
Use it responsibly
Check measurements, calculate once, and discuss concerns with a qualified health professional in Oman. Do not use an adult BMI page to diagnose children or to set an extreme diet or exercise target.
Frequently asked questions
Is BMI a diagnosis?
No. It is a screening measure and must be interpreted with other health information.
Does BMI work for athletes?
High muscle mass can make BMI less representative of body composition.
