Desirable Body Weight Calculator BMI


BMI Desirable Body Weight Calculator

Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Percentage  are validated measures of nutritional status. These  are often used in clinical settings to see whether  one is underweight, overweight or obese.BMI is based on the weight and height measurements and can be calculated by the 
following formula:
BMI= Weight (kg)/ Height (m)2BMI indicates whether body weight is proportional to body height. Please see the reference values for adult population:

BMI                     Asian, Caribbean, African                  Caucasian
Underweight                 <18.5                                       <18.5 
Normal                         18.5 - 22.9                               18.5 - 24.9 
Overweight                 23.0 - 24.9                                25.0 - 29.9 
Obese                               ≥25.0                                     ≥30.0


People who are not within the normal weight category, and would like to know their ideal body weight may simply use the formula below:


Ideal body weight = height in meter
2 x 18.5 to 22.9 (for Asians) or 18.5 to 24.9 (for Caucasians)



For example: Peter is British and is 1.78m tall. His BMI is 32, so he is categorized as 
obese and the ideal body weight for Peter will be:
Lower limit of ideal body weight = 1.782x 18.5 = 58.6kg
Upper limit of ideal body weight = 1.782 X 24.9 = 78.9kg


So the ideal body weight that allow Peter to fall into the category of ‘Normal’ are between 

  • 58.6kg and 78.9kg.

  • If the BMI is above normal, a weight loss programme is recommended. Being overweight or obese are risk factors for many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and sleep apnea.
  • If the BMI is below normal, one is  recommended to increase weight or, if the condition is not too severe, to prevent further weight loss.People with low body weight tend to be more susceptible to infection as they have weaker immune systems. Low body weight can also cause other health complications, such as amenorrhea in women or osteoporosis. In addition, being overly underweight  can also indicate other underlying diseases, which, if not treated early, can become life-threatening.
