Calculate my BMI ↓Adjust the sliders to see your starting point.
Your BMI is calculated from your height and weight. It's a rough indicator of whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height — and a starting point for deciding whether prescription weight loss treatment may be appropriate.
ⓘ This indicator is for general information only. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or replace medical advice. Eligibility is confirmed by a Dutch BIG-registered doctor.
With a BMI above 27, you may qualify for prescription weight loss treatment if you have at least one weight-related condition.

BMI isn't the whole story.
BMI is a useful starting point — but it's a blunt instrument. It doesn't measure body composition, where you carry weight, or your overall metabolic health. A few things BMI gets wrong:
- Muscle mass — Athletes and people with high muscle mass often have BMIs in the "overweight" range despite low body fat.
- Body composition — Two people with the same BMI can have very different ratios of muscle to fat.
- Age — Older adults naturally lose muscle and gain fat — same BMI, different health implications.
- Ethnicity — People of South Asian descent often face metabolic risks at lower BMIs than Caucasian populations.
- Fat distribution — Visceral fat (around organs) carries far higher metabolic risk than subcutaneous fat — BMI sees neither.
That's why our doctors review your full medical history — not just your BMI — before deciding on treatment.
Based on your BMI, here's what to do.
Maintain & build healthy habits
Prescription weight loss medication isn't appropriate at this BMI. Focus on sustainable nutrition, regular movement, and stress management. If you have specific health concerns, speak with your huisarts.
