Caveat: a systematic flaw has been uncovered in the BMI assessment system. Because a given volume of muscle tissue has the same weight as fat, if an individual has a lot of muscle mass, he or she will be incorrectly evaluated as overweight or obese. In a case like this, it is necessary to perform a comparatively complex procedure that determines the ratio of body muscle to body fat.
In the simplest terms, if you are an athletic individual, if you have a lot of muscle tissue, the BMI calculation will probably not deliver an accurate result.
This JavaScript application will compute your Body
Mass Index (BMI), a measure of how your weight compares
with the ideal. All you need to do is enter your height
and weight and the program will do the rest.
