Easy BMI calculator
1.2.2
Easy BMI calculator is a way to estimate whether a person is at a healthy weight for his or her height. Although the measure isn't a perfect indicator of a person's overall health, it's an easy way for most people to determine whether they are underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.
Many Easy BMI calculator apps make the process even easier — and let users keep track of changes to their BMI over time.
Before you launch any of those apps, though, here's a quick review of what BMI can and can't tell you about your health. The calculation, which dates back to the 1800s, is a mathematical formula that divides body mass by the square of height. (There are body mass index tables that make the calculation particularly easy.) The resulting number gives an estimate of body fat percentage.
BMI is only one factor to consider when assessing health, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Ideally, you'll also want to consider your waist circumference as well as any lifestyle or genetic risk factors for cardiovascular disease. And BMI can occasionally be misleading. According to the NHLBI, the measure often mistakenly classifies heavily muscled athletes as obese, and it can underestimate body fat in elderly or ill people who have lost muscle mass.
