ABSTRACT

An individual’s BMI can be determined by dividing their weight in kilograms (kg) by the square of their height in meters (m 2 ).

BMI = weight (kg)/ height2 (m2)

The same number can be calculated in feet (ft) and pounds (lbs) by dividing their weight in pounds (lbs) by the square of their height (ft 2 ) and multiplying the result by 4.88.
