Formula of BMI
Metric Calculations
BMI universally expressed in units of kg/m². kg/m² mean weight in Kilo gram KG and height in meters or centimeters CM. So, to calculate an adult’s BMI: Divide their weight in kilograms (kg) by the square of their height in meters (m2). Since most people measure height in centimeters (cm), divide height in cm by 100 to get height in meters.
Imperial Calculations
When using imperial units, the formula is: BMI = lbs x 703/in2. In other words: Multiply a person’s weight in pounds (lbs) by 703. Then divide by their height in inches, squared (in2).
