Comparative table for calculating your BMI (Body mass index)
|
|
BMI is a way to estimate whether you weigh enough for your height.
The BMI is based on your height (in inches or meters) and weight (in pounds or kilograms).
To calculate your BMI, use one of the following equations:
If you know your weight in pounds and your height in inches: BMI = (pounds x 700)/(inches squared)
If you know your weight in kilograms and your height in meters: BMI = kilograms/(meters squared)
