Height and Weight Context
At 61 kg the BMI result moves with height: around 26.4 at 5ft 0in, 21.6 at 5ft 6in, and 18.2 at 6ft 0in. That spread is exactly why a weight on its own says so little. If you want your own figure rather than the examples, our BMI calculator takes your exact height. BMI is a screening measure rather than a diagnosis, whatever the number says.
