What is bmi and weight loss tracker
With BMI and weight loss tracker you can calculate your Body Mass Index, Waist-to-Height Ratio, Body Fat Percentage and Weight loss tracker to find your ideal weight based on age and gender.
It can also be used to find your healthy weight if you want to lose weight or are on diet.
• WHtR - Waist-to-Height Ratio: is defined as the waist circumference divided by the height. It measures abdominal obesity and therefore can be used as an better indicator of health risks than BMI (Body Mass Index).
• Body Fat Percentage: is defined as the weight of fat divided by the total weight. It is estimated with the 'US Navy Circumference Method' which uses the height and circumferences of waist, neck and hip.
You can also calculate BMI yourself
Belgium Statistician Adolphe Quetelet developed the BMI formula approximately 150 years ago.
The calculation of BMI is based on the following formulas:
Metric BMI Formula
Weight (kg) / Height (m)2
With the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m2). Since height is commonly measured in centimeters, divide height in centimeters by 100 to obtain height in meters.
Imperial BMI Formula
(Weight (lbs.) * 703) / Height (inches)2
When using pounds and inches, the formula needs to be altered slightly. Multiply your weight in pounds by 703. Divide that by your height in inches, squared.
Fast facts on BMI
Here are some key points about BMI. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
*Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of relative size based on the mass and height of an individual.
*The Quetelet Index was devised by Adolphe Quetelet, a Belgian mathematician, astronomer and statistician, in 1832. It was later termed "body mass index" in 1972 by Ancel Keys.
*BMI is a simple, inexpensive and noninvasive surrogate measure of body fat.
*Factors such as age, sex, ethnicity and muscle mass are not accounted for in BMI.
*For adults 20 years and older, BMI is interpreted by using standard weight status categories that are the same for all ages, and for both men and women.
*For children and adolescents between 2-20 years old, BMI is interpreted relative to a child's age and sex.
*BMI is a reasonable indicator of body fat for both adults and children.
*Because BMI does not measure body fat directly, it should not be used as a diagnostic tool.
*BMI should be used as a measure to track weight status in populations and as a screening tool to identify potential weight problems in individuals.
*Other measures of body fat, such as skinfold thicknesses, bioelectrical impedance, underwater weighing and dual energy X-ray absorption, maybe more accurate than BMI.
