The body mass index is an estimation of a person's body fat, according to the National Institutes of Health. To calculate BMI, divide your weight (in pounds) by your height (in inches) squared, and then multiply that number by a conversion factor of 703. This same calculation can be used when measuring weight in kilograms and height in meters, but no conversion factor is needed.
Itâs easy to assume that the higher your body weight, the higher your BMI. In a lot of cases, that might seem to be true, but thatâs not quite how it works. âBMI is a proxy measure of body fat based on weight and height,â explains Dr. Pan. âBMI and body fat are highly correlated for most people. However, BMI does not directly measure body fat .â.
