Find a health care professional

When it comes to making a plan for weight management, it's important to work with a health care professional you can trust.

If you don't have a health care professional, we can help you find one. Enter your location in the field below to find a health care professional near you.

Novo Nordisk does not make any representations or guarantees about the qualifications, competence, or skills of any health care professional, the accuracy of any diagnosis, or the appropriateness of any treatment that a health care professional may prescribe or recommend. Patients should make their own independent decisions regarding the capabilities and suitability of potential health care professionals, and Novo Nordisk does not play a role in any patient-provider relationship you may establish.

Determine your BMI

Body mass index (BMI) is a number that's calculated based on your weight and height. Health care professionals use BMI to evaluate a person's weight category—either underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obesity.

It's important to remember that BMI is just one piece of a larger health assessment and does not provide a complete picture of a person's health. To determine if your BMI indicates a health risk, your health care professional will need to assess other parts of your overall health like your age, sex, diet, exercise routine, family medical history, muscle mass, waist size, and other relevant factors.

You can calculate your BMI below.

Please note that this BMI calculator is intended for adults 20 years and older. BMI for children and teenagers is interpreted differently. Check out our Adolescents With Obesity web page to learn more.
