Body Mass Index
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number that is often called upon to evaluate body
weight.
body weight (Kg) body weight (lb)×703
BMI = BMI =
(height(m))² (height(in))²
Recommended Measurement Time
To obtain an accurate reading, we recommend that you always take the measurement
in the same environment and at the same time of day. Avoid taking measurements
under the following conditions:
• Immediately after a bath or exercise
• After drinking alcohol or a large amount of water
• Less than 2 hours after a meal
If you take a measurement under any of the above conditions, the calculated body
composition may be significantly different from the actual composition due to changes
in water content in the body.
