How is BMI calculated?
BMI 是如何计算的?
For metric units the formula is BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². For imperial units it becomes BMI = 703 × weight (lb) / height (in)². The resulting number is then placed in a category:
公制公式为 BMI = 体重 (kg) / 身高 (m)²。英制公式为 BMI = 703 × 体重 (lb) / 身高 (in)²。结果按下面的分类:
- Below 18.5 — Underweight
- 低于 18.5 —— 偏瘦
- 18.5 – 24.9 — Normal weight
- 18.5 – 24.9 —— 正常
- 25.0 – 29.9 — Overweight
- 25.0 – 29.9 —— 超重
- 30.0 and above — Obese
- 30.0 及以上 —— 肥胖
