BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) CALCULATOR
Your
body mass index (BMI) is a simple math calculation that determines your
weight-to-height ratio. You can learn your own BMI by entering your height
and weight in the spaces below. Based on the information you provide,
the calculator will then ascertain your BMI using the formula kg/m2
(or lbs/inches2 * 703). It can also give you information
about extent of the risk factors that may be associated with your calculated
BMI.
