What’s my BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is one way to measure health in older adults. If we think of health like a puzzle, BMI is just one piece of a very large puzzle. While it does not fully determine whether an individual is healthy or not, it does help in determining long-term health outcomes.
BMI is a calculation of the ratio of height to weight, this gives a number that is compared to a reference range.
According to The World Health Organization (WHO) BMI does have limitations that make it not appropriate to use as a sole indicator of health. So let’s take a look at when it’s useful, and how to properly use it!
BMI and its Role in Health
Calculating the BMI is actually relatively simple.
BMI = kg/m2
Kg = Kilograms Body Weight
M2 = Height in Metres Squared
A practical example would be a woman who is 5 feet 6 inches tall, which equals 1.68 meters, or 2.82 meters squared. This woman weighs 68 kilograms. So if we plug that into the formula we get:
BMI = 68 / 2.82
BMI = 24.1
BMI Range
| Health Category | BMI Range |
|---|---|
| Underweight | < 18.5 |
| Normal Weight | Between 18.5-24.9 |
| Overweight | Between 25-29.9 |
| Obese | ≥ 30 |
