BMI Calculation Formula
About BMI
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a commonly used indicator to assess whether the ratio of weight to height is healthy. It is calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by the square of height (in meters). BMI values can help determine whether a person is within a healthy weight range, or whether they are at risk of being underweight, overweight, or obese.
BMI Calculation Formula
Our BMI calculator uses the following formula to calculate body mass index:
BMI = Weight(kg) / Height²(m²)
BMI Prime = BMI / 25
BMI Classification Standards
- Underweight: BMI < 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5-24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25-29.9
- Obese: BMI 30-39.9
- Severely obese: BMI ≥ 40
Limitations of BMI
While BMI is a useful tool, it has some limitations:
- Does not differentiate between fat and muscle mass
- Does not consider body fat distribution
- May not be applicable to athletes, the elderly, and pregnant women
- Different ethnicities and races may require different BMI standards
