It indicates the effect of body weight on disease and death. How is BMI Calculated? BMI is calculated by dividing your weight (in kilograms) by your height (in meters) squared. You can use the following equation: weight in kilograms (weight in pounds divided by 2.2) divided by: (height in meters)2 or [(height in inches x 2.54) x 10000] http://www.clevelandclinic.org/nutrition/bmi.htm Online tool does it for you http://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/interactive/cal05.asp
