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 Healthy Weight Context at 88.3 kg
At 88.3 kg, your BMI depends on your height. For example, at an average UK height of 1.75m (5ft 9in), a weight of 88.3 kg gives a BMI of 28.8, which falls in the overweight range (25.0–29.9) according to NHS guidelines. At 1.65m (5ft 5in), the same weight gives a BMI of 32.4 (obese class I). Use our free BMI calculator above to check your personal BMI and healthy weight range. A healthy BMI sits between 18.5 and 24.9 for most UK adults. For people of South Asian, Chinese, Black African, or Black Caribbean backgrounds, lower thresholds apply—check with your GP for personalised guidance.
