Weight, height, and BMI context
The tool also displays BMI as an arithmetic height-to-weight reference. BMI is calculated from weight divided by height squared, so it changes when either of the two primary inputs changes.
BMI can be useful for keeping a comparison organized, but it does not distinguish muscle, fat, bone, water, or where weight is carried. The 3D silhouette is also an estimate, not a health assessment.
If you want to focus on the formula and its limits, open the BMI Visualizer. If you want to test several heights as well as weights, the Height and Weight Simulator provides a broader starting point.
