Health Calculator

18.5 – 24.9	Normal or Healthy Weight
25.0 – 29.9	Overweight

Calorie Required: Indicates an approximate calorie requirement for a person having a normal lifestyle.

Waist to Height ratio: Waist to height ratio is a simple measurement for assessment of lifestyle risk and overweight. Compared to just measuring waist circumference, waist to height ratio is equally fair for short and tall persons. This calculator is valid for children and adults.
