To determine BMI, divide a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. BMI, which stands for Body Mass Index, can also be calculated using pounds and inches. Refer to the table below for this method. Locate the person's height in inches in the left column, then move across the corresponding row to find their weight in pounds. The BMI is indicated by the number at the top of the column.BMI (kg/m²)19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 35 40Height (in.) | Weight (lb.)58 | 91 96 100 105 110 115 119 124 129 134 138 143 167 19159 | 94 99 104 109 114 119 124 128 133 138 143 148 173 19860 | 97 102 107 112 118 123 128 133 138 143 148 153 179 20461 | 100 106 111 116 122 127 132 137 143 148 153 158 185 21162 | 104 109 115 120 126 131 136 142 147 153 158 164 191 21863 | 107 113 118 124 130 135 141 146 152 158 163 169 197 22564 | 110 116 122 128 134 140 145 151 157 163 169 174 204 23265 | 114 120 126 132 138 144 150 156 162 168 174 180 210 24066 | 118 124 130 136 142 148 155 161 167 173 179 186 216 24767 | 121 127 134 140 146 153 159 166 172 178 185 191 223 25568 | 125 131 138 144 151 158 164 171 177 184 190 197 230 26269 | 128 135 142 149 155 162 169 176 182 189 196 203 236 27070 | 132 139 146 153 160 167 174 181 188 195 202 207 243 27871 | 136 143 150 157 165 172 179 186 193 200 208 215 250 28672 | 140 147 154 162 169 177 184 191 199 206 213 221 258 29473 | 144 151 159 166 174 182 189 197 204 212 219 227 265 30274 | 148 155 163 171 179 186 194 202 210 218 225 233 272 31175 | 152 160 168 176 184 192 200 208 216 224 232 240 279 31976 | 156 164 172 180 189 197 205 213 221 230 238 246 287 328This table shows the body weight in pounds for different heights and BMI values.
