What is BMI?How it is calculated

Answer 1

BMI is your weight (in kilograms) over your height squared (in centimeters). Let’s calculate, however, using pounds and inches.

For instance, the BMI of a person who is 5’3" and weighs 125 lbs is calculated as follows:

Multiply the weight in pounds by 0.45 (the metric conversion factor)125 X 0.45 = 56.25 kg

 

2. Multiply the height in inches by 0.025 (the metric conversion factor)63 X 0.025 = 1.575 m

 

3. Square the answer from step 21.575 X 1.575 = 2.480625

 

4.Divide the answer from step 1 by the answer from step 356.25 : 2.480625 = 22.7

 

The BMI for a person who is 5’3" and weighs 125 lbs is 22.7 or practically, 23.

 

A healthy BMI ranges between 19 and 25.
