The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement formula that compares your height to your weight. This tool can be used to determine if you are within a healthy weight range. The BMI is a good indicator for the average person from age 25 to 65.
To calculate your BMI you need to know your weight (in KG) and your height (in meters). Formula for calculating BMI: BMI = Weight in KG / Height (in meters)²
My BMI Result:
Weight: 75 kg
Height: 1.7 meters
My BMI = 74/1.7*1.7 = 26 (overweight)
BMI Result:
• BMI under 18.5 indicates underweight
• BMI 18.5 – 24.9 indicates normal
• BMI of 25.0 – 29.9 indicates overweight
