BMI can monitor changes in body size.

One way to see how you compare to “normal weight” bodies of your same height is by computing your BMI.

Adult BMI formula:

Inches/pounds: (weight in pounds) divided by (height in inches, squared) times 703

Example:

100 pound person that is 5 feet tall—100 divided by 3600 × 703 = 19.52 BMI

Example:

200 pound person that is 5 feet tall—200 divided by 3600 × 703 = 39.05

Meters/kilograms: (weight in kilograms) divided by (height in meters, squared)

Example: 100 kilogram person that is 2 meters tall—100 divided by 4 = 25

Example: 160 kilogram person that is 2 meters tall—160 divided by 4 = 40

•Below 25 is considered “Normal”

•Adults with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 are considered “overweight”.

•When the BMI exceeds 30, the classification changes to obese.

(Parents should consult with the child’s pediatrician before computing BMI.)
