How Metric BMI Calculation Works
Metric BMI Formula
BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)²
Height Conversion: Height (cm) ÷ 100 = Height (m)
Example: 175cm = 1.75m
Underweight: BMI < 18.5
Normal Weight: BMI 18.5 - 24.9
Overweight: BMI 25.0 - 29.9
Obese: BMI ≥ 30.0
Example Metric BMI Calculation
A person weighing 70 kg with a height of 175 cm (1.75m) has a BMI of 22.9, placing them in the normal weight category. This calculation uses the standard metric formula: 70 ÷ (1.75)² = 22.9.
Metric measurements provide precise results without conversion errors from imperial units.
