Check your Body Mass Index in seconds and see where you fall on the Indian/Asian BMI scale — useful context before your consultation with Dr. Vinod Kumar Singh.
| Underweight | Below 18.5 |
| Normal | 18.5 – 22.9 |
| Overweight | 23 – 24.9 |
| Obese | 25 and above |
These cut-offs are lower than the global WHO standard, since research shows Asians tend to have a higher body-fat percentage at the same BMI as other populations — this scale is more clinically relevant for patients in Delhi and across India.
Considering bariatric (weight-loss) surgery? As per Asia-Pacific guidelines, surgery is generally considered for a BMI of 37.5+, or 32.5+ with conditions like diabetes. Dr. Vinod Kumar Singh can confirm your eligibility during a consultation.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening measure calculated from your height and weight. It gives a general indication of whether your weight falls in a healthy range, though it doesn't directly measure body fat.
BMI is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared (kg/m²). This calculator does the maths for you automatically — just enter your height and weight.
For the Indian/Asian population, a BMI of 18.5–22.9 is generally considered normal, 23–24.9 is overweight, and 25 and above is considered obese — these cut-offs are lower than the global WHO standard because Asians tend to have higher body-fat percentages at the same BMI.
As per Asia-Pacific bariatric guidelines, surgery is generally considered for a BMI of 37.5 and above, or 32.5 and above with obesity-related conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. This calculator gives a starting point — Dr. Vinod Kumar Singh will confirm eligibility during a consultation.
BMI is a useful screening tool but doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, age or body composition. Athletes or very muscular individuals, for example, may show a higher BMI without excess body fat. It should be used alongside a full clinical evaluation.
A high BMI alone doesn't mean surgery is necessary. Book a consultation with Dr. Vinod Kumar Singh at Aadhya9 Hospital for a complete evaluation of your health, weight-loss history and the safest path forward — surgical or non-surgical.
No, this BMI calculator runs entirely in your browser — your height and weight are not sent to or stored on our server.
This calculator is designed for adults. BMI in children and teens is assessed differently, using age- and sex-specific growth charts — please consult a paediatrician.
Checking every few months is generally enough to track meaningful changes — BMI doesn't fluctuate significantly day to day.
