BMI formula
The BMI (Body Mass Index) in (kg/m2) is equal to the mass in kilograms (kg) divided by the square height in meters (m):
BMI(kg/m2) = mass(kg) / height2(m)
The BMI (Body Mass Index) in (kg/m2) is equal to the mass in pounds (lbs) divided by the square height in inches (in) times 703:
BMI(kg/m2) = mass(lb) / height2(in) × 703
