What is Body Mass Index (BMI) and how do I calculate it?Updated a year ago
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a ratio of weight to height (your weight divided by your height squared) used to check if the weight of a person is appropriate for their height.
You can calculate your BMI by using the formula below:-
BMI =Weight (kg) X Height (meters)2
For example, David is 92kg and he is 1.78cm tall
David's BMI would be calculated as follows.
92 divided by (1.78 x 1.78) = 29
Which means David's BMI is 29.
