BMI Calculator
HOW CAN YOU CALCULATE YOUR BMI?
Simply put, the body mass index (BMI) is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if you are a healthy size and calculate your BMI measurement.
Your BMI is found by dividing an adult’s weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared. The resulting number- usually between about 15-40 shows whether that person is underweight, a healthy weight, overweight or obese.
For those aged 2 to 18, the BMI calculation doesn’t just take into account their height and weight. Their age and gender are incorporated into the equation as well.
