Calculating body mass index (BMI) is an easy and popular way to determine body fat levels, thereby assessing and monitoring health risks. BMI is a physical measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.
BMI is easy to calculate using the formula:weight in kg/ (height in meters)2.For instance, if an individual weighs 70 kg and has a height of 1.75 meters, the calculation would be: 70/(1.752) = 22.86. This result falls within the range of “normal” BMI.
