BMI Example Calculations
Case 1: U.S. Customary Units
Let's calculate the BMI of a person weighing 150 pounds with a height of 5 feet 8 inches:
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated using the formula:
\( \text{BMI} = \frac{W}{H^2} \times 703 = \text{BMI} = \frac{150}{68^2} \times 703 = 22.8 \)
Therefore, the BMI is approximately 22.8.
This falls in the Normal weight range.
Case 2: Metric Units
Let's calculate the BMI of a person weighing 68 kilograms with a height of 1.73 meters:
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated using the formula:
\( \text{BMI} = \frac{W}{H^2}= \text{BMI} = \frac{68}{1.73^2} = 22.7 \)Therefore, the BMI is approximately 22.7.
This also falls in the Normal weight range.
