This is because blood contains haemoglobin â a specialised protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs so that the oxygen can be transported to the rest of the body. The amount of haemoglobin in blood increases at high altitude. This is one of the best-known features of acclimatisation (acclimation) to high altitude. Increasing the amount of haemoglobin in the blood increases the amount of oxygen that can be carried.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is also a value that indicates whether you are overweight, underweight or an ideal weight. Body Mass Index (BMI) can be calculated using a simple formula: Body weight in kilograms divided by the squared height in meters. Note: Body Mass Index (BMI) does not take into account an above average amount of muscle mass in your body. By having many trained muscles, the ideal/normal weight of your body may be higher. This BMI calculator is not suitable for calculating the BMI of children or adolescents.
The body mass index (BMI) formula uses height and weight to determine a person's amount of body fat.
