BMI Calculation

All of our health kiosks automatically calculate the users BMI. Knowing your BMI is important because your weight alone doesn't tell the whole story. The World Health Organisation uses BMI as its bench mark for determining obesity.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an assessment generally used by GPs and health experts to determine if a person is underweight, overweight or within a healthy weight range.

The Body Mass Index (or BMI) is a calculation of the ratio between your weight and your height. The formula is used to determine the amount of body fat you carry. The formula is your weight divided by your height in meters, squared (BMI = kg/m2).
