Find your healthy weight range based on BMI and learn what weight corresponds to a BMI of 22 — the mid-point of the healthy range
This healthy weight calculator determines the weight range corresponding to a healthy BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 based on your height. It also shows the weight at BMI 22, which is the mid-point of the healthy range and is associated with the lowest risk of chronic disease. Use this as a general guideline for weight management.
A BMI of 22 sits near the middle of the healthy range (18.5-24.9) and is associated with the lowest mortality risk in large population studies. It provides a buffer against both underweight-related and overweight-related health issues, making it a common target for weight management.
BMI is a useful population-level screening tool but has limitations for individuals. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI despite low body fat. Body composition, waist circumference, and other health markers should also be considered. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized goals.
