Inside the printable BMI sheet
The PDF contains four adult BMI bands, a context column and links for calculating BMI or comparing it with body-fat information. It is a reference sheet, rather than a height-and-weight lookup grid or an interactive form.
| BMI range | Category | Important context |
|---|---|---|
| Below 18.5 | Underweight | Needs broader health context |
| 18.5-24.9 | Healthy weight range | Useful but not perfect |
| 25.0-29.9 | Overweight | May misclassify muscular bodies |
| 30.0+ | Obesity range | Use with waist, health and clinical context |
Calculate BMI separately, then find the applicable row. The printed upper labels of 24.9 and 29.9 are shortened display conventions: the underlying boundaries are below 25 and below 30.
Annotate a calculated result
For an adult weighing 84 kg at 1.80 m, BMI = 84 ÷ 1.80² = 25.93, displayed as 25.9. On a printed copy, that belongs in the 25-to-below-30 band. Write the calculation date beside it if you want a dated reference.
Printing and interpretation
Use the PDF download button to open or save the single-page document. Its adult categories do not assess children or teenagers and do not measure body fat or explain the cause of a result. The sheet cannot determine health from a BMI number alone.
Frequently asked questions
Does the PDF calculate BMI when I type into it?
No. It is a static reference page. Use the BMI calculator for the height-and-weight calculation.
Is the category chart suitable for a child?
No. Children and teenagers require age- and sex-specific assessment rather than these adult category bands.
