Formula used

Metric BMI = weight kg ÷ height m². US BMI = 703 × weight lb ÷ height in². Healthy-weight range = BMI boundary × height m². BMI Prime = BMI ÷ 25. Ponderal Index = weight kg ÷ height m³.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

BMI is rounded to two decimals. Healthy-weight boundaries use BMI 18.5-24.9 and are rounded to one decimal in the selected unit system.

  • The calculator supports metric BMI arithmetic and the equivalent US customary formula using the 703 conversion factor.
  • Height must be greater than zero because the formula divides by height squared.
  • Adult BMI categories are screening categories for adults aged 20 and over, not a diagnosis or individual health assessment.
  • The healthy-weight range uses common adult BMI boundaries of 18.5 to 24.9 and is rounded for practical display.
  • BMI can be misleading for children, pregnancy, athletes, older adults and people with unusual body composition; use clinical guidance for health decisions.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: keep BMI, category, height, weight, age context, healthy-weight range and the “not a diagnosis” limitation together. BMI is useful as a quick screening index, but waist measurement, body composition, pregnancy status, ethnicity, medical history and clinician judgement can change the interpretation.

What-if check

BMI by nearby weight

Height stays fixed while nearby weights are compared. This keeps the denominator visible and makes the printed record useful as a worksheet or screening note.

Method

Metric BMI = weight kg ÷ height m². US BMI = 703 × weight lb ÷ height in². Healthy-weight range = BMI boundary × height m². BMI Prime = BMI ÷ 25. Ponderal Index = weight kg ÷ height m³.

  1. Convert height to metres: 175.0 cm ÷ 100 = 1.750 m.
  2. Square the height: 1.750 × 1.750 = 3.0625 m².
  3. Divide weight by height squared: 70.0 ÷ 3.0625 = 22.86 kg/m².
  4. Compare with adult screening bands: under 18.5, 18.5-24.9, 25.0-29.9, and 30.0 or above. The age entered is in the adult range, so adult screening bands are the relevant public-health shorthand.
  5. Add waist context when available; BMI alone does not show abdominal-fat distribution.
  6. Reverse the formula for the common adult healthy-weight band: BMI 18.5-24.9 at this height gives about 56.7-76.3 kg. BMI Prime is BMI ÷ 25 = 0.91.

Assumptions

  • The calculator supports metric BMI arithmetic and the equivalent US customary formula using the 703 conversion factor.
  • Height must be greater than zero because the formula divides by height squared.
  • Adult BMI categories are screening categories for adults aged 20 and over, not a diagnosis or individual health assessment.
  • The healthy-weight range uses common adult BMI boundaries of 18.5 to 24.9 and is rounded for practical display.
