BMI function
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is intended only for weighing people. It is used to assess whether people are within the normal weight range or are overweight.
The BMI is calculated according to the following formula:
BMI = | Weight in kg |
(Body height in m)² |
The unit for the BMI is therefore kg/m2.
BMI classification separated according to gender:
Classification | m | f |
Underweight | <20 | <19 |
Normal weight | ||
Overweight | ||
Adiposity | ||
Severe adiposity | >40 | >40 |
