Notes About the BMI Calculator
If you feel the results you've received are incorrect, please check
your height calculation. This calculator uses height in
inches. Five feet is equal to 60 inches. Therefore if
you are 5 feet, 5 inches, your height in inches is 65. The BMI
calculator doesn't work for everyone. It is an indicator of
average healthy weight based on the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services Healthy Weight
Ranges for Adults. BMI calculations may not be accurate
for:
- Anyone less than 18 years old
- Competitive athletes
- Body builders
- Pregnant or nursing women
- Frail or sedentary elderly persons
If you believe your BMI results do not accurately reflect your
body fatness, take your results to a doctor and ask for a body
fat test. |
