What is BMI?
BMI is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy. It's calculated using the following formula:
BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))2
For example, if you weigh 70 kg and are 175 cm (1.75 m) tall:
- BMI = 70 / (1.75 * 1.75)
- BMI = 70 / 3.0625
- BMI ≈ 22.9
This result would typically indicate a "Normal weight" status.
BMI Categories
Here’s how BMI is generally interpreted:
- Under 18.5: Underweight
- 18.5 - 24.9: Normal weight
- 25.0 - 29.9: Overweight
- 30.0 and above: Obesity
Please note that BMI is a general indicator and may not be accurate for everyone, such as athletes or pregnant women. Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
