How do you calculate humans BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of a person's weight relative to their height. It is calculated by dividing the person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. The formula is:
```
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2
```
BMI is used to screen for weight-related health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and stroke. A healthy BMI is considered to be between 18.5 and 24.9. A BMI of 25 or higher is considered to be overweight, and a BMI of 30 or higher is considered to be obese.
Here is an example of how to calculate BMI:
- A person who weighs 70 kilograms and is 1.7 meters tall has a BMI of 24.2:
```
BMI = 70 / (1.7)^2
= 70 / 2.89
= 24.2
```
