BMI

Räkna ut ditt BMI i vår BMI-kalkylator

Kroppsmasseindex (BMI) är ett verktyg som används för att uppskatta förhållandet mellan vikt och längd och används för att definiera obesitas. BMI kan bidra till att underlätta upptäckt av de hälsorisker som kopplas till övervikt. Ange längd och vikt i BMI-kalkylatorn nedan för att räkna ut ditt BMI. Resultaten kategoriseras från undervikt till obesitas klass III.

BMI-kalkylator: kolla ditt BMI nu

Kalkylatorn hjälper dig att räkna ut ditt BMI genom en formel som delar din kroppsvikt (kilo) med din längd (meter) i kvadrat. Fyll i din längd och din vikt och jämför ditt resultat mot tabellen nedan. Klicka på de olika kategorierna för att lära dig mer.

Klassifikation* BMI
Undervikt Under 18,5
Normal 18,5–24,9
Övervikt 25,0–29,9
Obesitas 30 och över
Klass I 30,0–34,9
Klass II 35,0–39,9
Klass III 40 och över

*Klassifikation från WHO (Världshälsoorganisationen). BMI-kalkylatorn ska användas av vuxna som är 20 år eller äldre. Prata med din läkare om ditt BMI om du är under 20 år.

Varför är det viktigt att veta sitt BMI?

BMI är ett sätt att hålla ett öga på sjukdoms- och hälsorisker kopplade till till hög kroppsvikt.Att leva med övervikt eller obesitas är associerat med en ökad risk för dödlighet eller andra sjukdomar och tillstånd. Vid ett högt BMI är generellt sett risken högre att utveckla andra kroniska obesitasrelaterade sjukdomar, som inkluderar:

  • Typ 2-diabetes
  • Högt blodsocker
  • Högt kolesterol 
  • Högt blodtryck
  • Infertilitet
  • Ångest och depression
  • Kranskärlssjukdom, som t.ex. hjärtinfarkt
  • Dyslipidemi
  • MASH (metabolisk dysfunktionsassocierad steatohepatit)
  • GERD (gastroesofageal refluxsjukdom)
  • Metabolt syndrom (MetS)
  • Urininkontinens
  • Obstruktiv sömnapné och andningsproblem
  • Kronisk njursjukdom
  • Olika cancersjukdomar, inklusive (men inte enbart) bröst-, tjocktarms-, endometrie-, matstrups-, njur-, äggstocks- och bukspottkörtelcancer.
  • Knäartros
  • Gallstenssjukdom
  • Blodpropp
  • Gikt
  • Stroke

Fråga din läkare om du vill veta mer om de olika sjukdomarna och deras koppling till ett högt BMI. Då kan du också lära dig mer om hälsofördelarna med att gå ner i vikt.

Vilka begränsningar har BMI?

BMI är ett enkelt och objektivt mått, som i vissa fall kan vara vilseledande. Forskning har visat att BMI är mindre korrekt för att förutse sjukdomsrisk hos personer som är äldre, atleter, långa eller korta eller har en muskulös kroppsbyggnad. Hos till exempel elitidrottare eller kroppsbyggare kan det vara muskler som gör att de väger mer, vilket också ökar deras BMI.

BMI tar inte hänsyn till:

  • Ärftliga riskfaktorer associerade med obesitasrelaterade sjukdomar, som metabolt syndrom
  • Miljö- eller livsstilsfaktorer bortom att obesitas kan öka risken att utveckla en kronisk sjukdom
  • Hur kroppsfett distribueras på individnivå

Det är viktigt att komma ihåg att obesitas inte nödvändigtvis betyder att du är ohälsosam, precis som att en normalvikt inte innebär att man är hälsosam. Du definieras inte av ditt BMI, men att veta och förstå det kan vara ett bra verktyg för att ta kontroll över din hälsa.

Läkare och sjukvårdspersonal rekommenderar en hälsosam kost och livsstil oavsett BMI. Prata med din läkare om din vikt och hälsa för att utvärdera om några åtgärder behöver göras.

Hur BMI och midja-höft-kvot kan bidra till hjärthälsa

Personer som lever med övervikt eller obesitas har en högre risk att utveckla kardiovaskulära sjukdomar, också kallat hjärtsjukdomar .

Trots att både BMI och midja-höft-kvot (WHR) kan användas för att förstå en persons risk att utveckla hjärtsjukdom, anses WHR ge en pålitligare förutsägelse av riskfaktorer i hjärtat, som till exempel högt blodtryck och högt kolesterol.

BMI används som en indikation av en persons viktkategori, baserat på längd och vikt. Syftet med WHR är att mäta distributionen av en persons kroppsfett, baserat på längd och midjemått. Det är värdefullt att mäta WHR, eftersom ett överskott av fett som lagras runt buken är förknippat med en förhöjd risk att utveckla hjärtsjukdom.

Genom BMI och WHR kan du få bättre förståelse för om du behöver genomföra några åtgärder för att gå ner i vikt – vilket i sin tur kan förbättra din hjärthälsa.
