# BMI Calculator

Calculate your BMI using WHO and Asia-Pacific standards. For Filipinos, overweight starts at BMI 23 (Asia-Pacific standard), not 25 (WHO). Free, no ads.

## Quick answer

For Filipinos, the Asia-Pacific BMI standard is more appropriate than the global WHO standard. Normal weight: BMI 18.5–22.9. Overweight: BMI 23–27.4. Obese: BMI ≥27.5. This is because research shows Filipinos and other Asians develop diabetes and heart disease at lower BMI values than Europeans.
