Calculating Your Body Mass Index (BMI)

Transcription

1 Calculating Your Body Mass Index (BMI) 1. Write down your weight in pounds (example: 190) 2. Multiply that number by 703 (190 x 703 = 133,570) 3. Multiply your height in inches by itself ( 70 x 70 = 4,900) 4. Divide the answer to #2 by the answer to #3 (133,570 divided by 4,900 = 27.26) This is your BMI.
