BMI Calculator
Body mass index compares your weight to your height. It is a screening number, not a measure of health, and it says nothing about muscle, bone, or where weight is carried. Your physician reads it alongside your labs and history.
27.3
Above the reference range. Reference bands: under 18.5, 18.5 to 24.9, 25 to 29.9, and 30 or higher. Athletes and adults carrying more muscle often read high without any added risk.
- Why physicians still use it
- BMI is a fast, consistent screening tool. It helps decide whether a fuller metabolic workup, including labs, is worth ordering.
- What it misses
- It cannot tell muscle from fat, and it ignores waist circumference, which often tracks metabolic risk more closely.
- How we use it at Zevara
- As one input among many. Eligibility for metabolic therapy is decided by a physician reading your full picture, not a single number.
- How often to recheck
- Monthly is plenty. Weight moves day to day with hydration, sodium, and sleep, so trends matter more than any single reading.
