How To Calculate Your BMI

HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR BODY MASS INDEX OR BMI

BMI is your weight (in kilo grams) over your height squared (in centimeters). Let’s calculate.

Formula and Calculation: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m²)

Example: Suppose height of 180 cm and weight of 75 kg. we divide our height figure by 100. This gives us 1.8m.

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m²)

BMI = 75 ÷ (1.8 ×1.8)

BMI= 75 ÷ 3.24

BMI = 23.15%

BMI Categories: 

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 
Overweight = 25–29.9 
Obesity = 30 or greater
