The Body Mass Index (BMI - Body Mass Index) calculator is a tool to evaluate normal weight or overweight. Weight is assessed using the body mass index, which examines the relationship between body height and weight.
The calculation is done as follows:
Body Mass Index (BMI) = Height in meters x Height in meters / Body weight in kilograms (please read the equation from left to right)
The BMI calculator is used to calculate the value of the Body Mass Index, which is a measure of body fat based on height and weight, and can be applied to adult women and men.
The BMI calculator divides the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters to calculate the BMI value. The equation can be explained as follows:
Body mass index = weight in kilograms / height in meters squared.
This value is widely used as an indicator of whether a person is a healthy weight for their height. The resulting value is used to classify whether a person is overweight, underweight, or normal weight based on the range in which the value falls.
It should be noted that BMI is an imperfect measure of healthy body weight, but it is useful as an indicator to determine whether any additional testing or procedure is necessary.
This table shows the BMI values recommended by the World Health Organization for women and men aged 20 years or older:
