About BMI Result

BMI Result (bmiresult.com) is an independent health utility site. We are not a hospital, insurer, or government agency. Our goal is to provide a better user experience than legacy calculator pages: instant BMI results, accessible design, dark mode, and clear educational content.

Who's behind BMI Result

BMI Result was founded and is run by Narayan Bansal, a health and fitness enthusiast who built this site to make body mass index quick and clear to understand. Narayan writes and edits the articles here out of a personal interest in fitness — he is not a doctor or certified nutritionist, and this content is educational only, not a substitute for professional medical advice. All health information is grounded in official WHO and CDC guidance (see our methodology below), and we encourage readers to consult a qualified professional for personal health decisions.

Our methodology

All BMI calculations use the standard formula recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO): BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m). Adult BMI categories follow the WHO classification (underweight <18.5, normal 18.5–24.9, overweight 25–29.9, obese ≥30). For children and teens, we use age- and sex-specific percentile charts based on CDC growth chart data.

Content standards

Health content on this site is written for general educational purposes and is based on peer-reviewed research and official guidelines from the WHO, CDC, and NHLBI. We clearly state the known limitations of BMI — including its inability to distinguish muscle from fat, ethnic variation in risk thresholds, and unsuitability during pregnancy. We encourage all users to consult a qualified healthcare professional for personal health decisions.

Editorial independence

BMI Result is funded by advertising. Advertisers have no influence over our calculations, content, or health recommendations. We do not sell user data.
