This index may be calculated by dividing body weight by height in meters squared.

For example: a person weighting 76 Kg and 1.80 m tall has a BMI of 23 Kg/m2 (76 divided by 1.80 squared).

Use a period as a decimal separation.

 Comments

The purpose of the BMI calculation is to clarify the relationship between a person's weight and height.

However it's only a guideline, as it does not take a weight composition into account.

In other words, two people with the same weight don't necessarily have the same amount of muscle mass or fat. This information cannot be achieved by a simple BMI estimate.

To obtain this relationship between the different weight components we have to evaluate the body composition (water, fat and lean mass percentages).
