or do it yourself by your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters.

Answer 2

BMI = Weight in KG / (Height in metres ) ^2

Idealy BMI should be between 18 and 25 else you are either underweight (if less than 18) or overweight. I hope this makes it clear to you. Now mark my ans as the Best Answer. :))

Answer 3

are you sure it's not 19? because that's around average I believe. But honestly you can't trust BMI because it doesn't take into account muscle vs. fat, which is why a lot of athletes are told they are over-weight even though it's all muscle. But I don't think that 1.9 is even possible even if you're very tall and skinny, like in an unhealthy way.

Answer 4

Body mass index is calculated with this formula: - weight (in kilos) divided by height (in meters) squared - Therefore, if someone weighs 100 kilos and is 1.8 meters tall, their BMI is 100 divided by 1.8 X 1.8 = 100/3.24 = 30.9 - To convert from pounds to kilos, take the weight in pounds and divide it by 2.2 - To convert from inches to meters, take the height in inches times 0.0254 - View a BMI table showing how to get your BMI from your height and weight .
