 To calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI), you can use the following formula:

$\text{BMI} = \frac{\text{weight (kg)}}{\text{height (m)}^2}$

Alternatively, if your measurements are in pounds and inches, you can use this formula:

$\text{BMI} = \frac{\text{weight (lb)} \times 703}{\text{height (in)}^2}$

Let's go through an example calculation for both metric and imperial units.

Example Calculation (Metric Units)

Assume:

• Weight: 70 kg
• Height: 1.75 m

$\text{BMI} = \frac{70}{1.75^2} = \frac{70}{3.0625} \approx 22.9$

Example Calculation (Imperial Units)

Assume:

• Weight: 154 lbs
• Height: 68 inches

$\text{BMI} = \frac{154 \times 703}{68^2} = \frac{108262}{4624} \approx 23.4$

BMI Categories

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), BMI categories are:

• Underweight: BMI < 18.5
• Normal weight: BMI 18.5–24.9
• Overweight: BMI 25–29.9
• Obesity: BMI ≥ 30
