BMI (Body Mass Index)
The Body Mass Index (BMI) refers the body weight to the
square of the body height.
BMI = Weight in kg: (body height in m x body height in m)
Example:
A woman weighs 55 kg and is 1.68 m tall. Her BMI is calcu
-
lated as follows:
55 kg : (1.68 m x 1.68 m) ≈ 19.5 kg / m²
Normal weight
The value “square of the body height” is in no relation to the
body surface. The BMI is merely a rough reference value, as
it neither considers the build and gender, nor the individual
composition of the body mass from the fat and muscle tissue
of a human.
Reference Values for the BMI
BMI
Underweight
Normal
Overweight
Obese
< 18.5
18.5 - 27
30 - 39
> 40
Please note that the interpretation of the BMI indicates
excess weight with very muscular bodies (bodybuilder). The
reason for this is that the far above-average muscle mass is
not considered in the BMI formula.
