6. Evaluation of results
Body mass index (BMI)
The body mass index (BMI) is a number that is often called upon to evaluate body weight. The figure is
calculated from body weight and height. The formula is: body mass index = body weight : height². The
measurement unit for BMI is [kg/m²]. According to the BMI, weight is classified for adults (20 years and
over) using the following values:
Category
Underweight
Normal weight
Overweight
Obese (overweight)
Note that with very muscular physiques (body builders), the BMI interpretation will show overweight.
The reason for this is that no account is taken of well above average muscle mass in the BMI formula.
