To calculate your BMI, one of the following equations are used:
- 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)
(Body mass index)BMI is a way to estimate whether you weigh enough for your height. | | |
