About the BMI Calculator
The calculator uses a custom php logic configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
BMI = Weight (kg) / Height^2 (m^2)
Height must be converted from cm to m: Height_m = Height_cm / 100
Min = 18.5 x Height_m^2
Max = 24.9 x Height_m^2
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
Formula & How It Works
The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata: BMI = Weight (kg) / Height^2 (m^2) Height must be converted from cm to m: Height_m = Height_cm / 100 Min = 18.5 x Height_m^2 Max = 24.9 x Height_m^2 Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Adult Male, Athletic Build
Inputs
With Weight = 85 and Height = 183 as the stated inputs, the result is BMI = 25.4 kg/m^2, Category = Overweight and Healthy Weight Range = 62 kg. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 2: Adult Female, Normal Weight
Inputs
With Weight = 62 and Height = 165 as the stated inputs, the result is BMI = 22.8 kg/m^2, Category = Normal weight and Healthy Weight Range = 50.4 kg. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 3: Teenage Student, Underweight
Inputs
With Weight = 50 and Height = 172 as the stated inputs, the result is BMI = 16.9 kg/m^2, Category = Underweight and Healthy Weight Range = 54.7 kg. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 4: Middle-Aged Adult, Obese Class I
Inputs
With Weight = 98 and Height = 170 as the stated inputs, the result is BMI = 33.9 kg/m^2, Category = Obese and Healthy Weight Range = 53.5 kg. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
