About the Asian BMI Calculator
This calculator is specifically designed to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) for the Asian population. BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter your height in centimeters in the ‘Height’ field.
- Enter your weight in kilograms in the ‘Weight’ field.
- Click the ‘Calculate’ button to see your BMI result in the ‘Result’ box.
How BMI is Calculated
BMI is calculated using the formula: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m) * height (m)). For accurate results, height is converted from centimeters to meters within the calculation.
Limitations of BMI
BMI is a useful screening tool but not a diagnostic tool. It does not directly measure body fat. Factors like muscle mass, bone density, and overall body composition can affect BMI results, so it’s always best to consult a healthcare provider for personalized health assessment.
