Body Mass Index is your weight in kilograms (2.2 pounds per kilogram) divided by your height (2.54 centimeters per inch) in meters squared with a goal of < 25 but I am sorry to say that I do not know the conversion for 'stones' into 'pounds' although I have seen that conversion given in this forum in the recent past so hopefully someone will be able to provide that essential piece to your puzzle.

Stones = A British measurement of mass that equals approximately fourteen pounds
You can convert it at this website:

112lb= 51Kg approx BMI= M/(h^2), M=mass in Kg, h= height in metres. So if your say 5ft5in (1.65m) your BMI= about 18.9 ('normal')
As far as I can see this is an epirical rule for determining proportion of body fat.
It sees to assume the body is basically a cylinder, and that there is a 'desired' ratio of height to cross sectional area.
It also assumes human tissue is homogenous, ie same density(rho)
Using these assumptions, the mass M for the human 'cylinder' is M=pi*const*h^2*rho
So for two different body masses, heights,
M1/M2=h1^2/h2^2 (ratio of heights squared)
ie Mass/(height squared)= const+/- about 5 or so, for normal healthy range.
The measure breaks down at the extremes of height and mass as far as I can see.
A 6'3" rugby player mass = 18st BMI = 32 (obese?!). This is due to departures from cylindricality (body morphology) and proportion of muscle mass in the tissue

8 times 14 = 112.

Your body mass index using the British/European system of 'stones' is your stones times five. Cheers!

The BMI is a handy tool, but increasingly popular amongst clinicians is the hip to waist ratio.
