BMI & IDEAL WEIGHT

Everybody is concerned about their weight. But what is the basis for determining your ideal weight?

The key is BMI.

What is BMI?

BMI is short for Body Mass Index. This index uses the following simple formula to indicate the ratio between weight and height of a person.

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m) / height (m)

The OMRON BF500 uses the Height information stored in your personal profile number to calculate your BMI classification.
