BMI & IDEAL WEIGHT
Everybody is concerned about their weight. But what is the basis for determining your
ideal weight?
The key is BMI.
BMI is short for Body Mass Index. This index uses the following simple formula to
indicate the ratio between weight and height of a person.
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m) / height (m)
The OMRON Body composition monitor uses the Height information stored in
your personal profile number to calculate your BMI.
The Ideal BMI is 22
Maintaining an ideal weight can help prevent obesity or weight loss and other
diseases, and lead a longer life. The ideal weight for a BMI of 22 is calculated as
follows.
Ideal Weight (kg) = 22 × height (m) × height (m)
Example: For a person 1.55 m tall...
22 × 1.55 × 1.55 = 52.855 -> Approx 52.9 kg
However, this method of ideal weight calculation may not be applicable for
professional athletes and body builders, who have higher muscles ratio in their
bodies.
