Height decreases slightly with age after 40 — remeasure every 5 years for accurate BMIBMI Formula in kg and cm — Step by Step
BMI in metric units = Weight (kg) ÷ [Height (m)]². Since height is usually measured in cm, convert first: divide cm by 100. Example: Height 170 cm = 1.70 m. Weight 70 kg. BMI = 70 ÷ (1.70 × 1.70) = 70 ÷ 2.89 = 24.2. Using Indian thresholds, this BMI of 24.2 falls in the 'Overweight' category (23.0–27.4) and indicates moderately elevated health risk.
