What Is BMI and Why Does It Matter?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely used screening tool for assessing whether your weight falls within a healthy range. Used by the NHS, GPs, and weight management services across the UK, BMI provides a quick snapshot of your weight relative to your height. The formula is simple: your weight in kilograms divided by your height in metres squared (kg/m²).
While BMI isn't a perfect measure — it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution — it remains the standard first step in identifying potential weight-related health risks including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.
The NHS also recommends adjusted thresholds for people of South Asian, Chinese, or Black African heritage — a BMI of 23 or above is classified as overweight, and 27.5 as obese. Our calculator includes this adjustment as a one-click toggle.

BMI and Health Context at 118kg
At 118kg, your BMI depends on your height. For example, an adult who is 1.75m (5ft 9in) tall would have a BMI of approximately 38.5, which falls in the obese (Class II) category according to NHS guidelines. An adult 1.80m (5ft 11in) tall at this weight would have a BMI of around 36.4.
This weight range may qualify you for support through NHS weight management services or prescription weight loss options if you have weight-related health conditions. Your GP can discuss personalised guidance. Even modest weight reduction of 5–10% can improve blood pressure, blood sugar control, and joint health. Try our free BMI calculator above to check your personal BMI based on your exact height, and use the GLP-1 weight loss calculator to see projected outcomes with lifestyle changes.
