How to Compute BMI

BMI means Body Mass Index. It measures the thinness and fatness of the body. This is an indicator whether we are underweight, normal, overweight , or obese. 
Too much fat in our body could lead to high risk of having diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stress, cancer and arthritis.

It is important to know our BMI so that we will know whether we are at risk or needs to improve to achieve fitness. 

Here is how to compute the BMI.

BMI = Body Mass Index 


Formula: 

BMI =       Wkg

             ------------ 

                 Hm2


For example:

       =        50/ 1.50m2


       =      50/ 2.25


BMI   =         22.22

      

Classification = Normal

Compute the BMI 
  • Weight is  55 kgs while the height is 1. 44m.  


BMI = 26.52

Classification  = Overweight


If the weight is 67 kgs while the height is 1.72m. What is the BMI?


BMI = 22.65

Classification = Normal


So now, compute your BMI.
