Your BMI is 25.9, in the overweight range.

  • A healthy weight for your height is roughly 58.6 to 79.2 kg.
  • You are about 2.8 kg above the top of the healthy range.
  • Around the 33rd percentile (middle half of men your age)
  • For men, BMI does not account for muscle mass: very muscular men often score in the overweight range despite low body fat. Waist circumference is a useful companion metric.

Next stepPair BMI with a waist circumference or body-fat measurement to get a fuller picture of your cardiometabolic risk.
