Your body-mass
index ("BMI") measures your
height/weight ratio. Compute it by dividing your
weight in kilograms by the square of your height
in meters. We will help you convert your height
to inches and weight to pounds if you use the
english system.
For instance, if
your height is 1.6 meters (5' 3"), the
divisor of the calculation will be (1.6 * 1.6) =
2.56 If your weight is 63.64 kilograms (140 lbs),
then your BMI is 24.85 (63.64 /2.56).
People with BMIs
between 19 and 22 live longest. Death rates are
noticeably higher for people with indexes 25 and
above.
To figure your
BMI, enter your height and weight in the boxes
below, and then click "calculate". This
is the American version of the calculation
because you must enter your height in feet and
inches, and your weight in pounds. These are
converted to metric values before figuring your
BMI.
