  • Calcul du BMI chez les adultes et les enfants
  • Le BMI se calcule de la même manière pour les adultes et les enfants.
  • Système métrique
  • BMI = poids en kilogrammes ÷ (taille en mètres)².
  • Pour convertir la taille, diviser les centimètres par 100 afin d'obtenir les mètres.
  • Exemple : 68 kg et 165 cm (1,65 m) donnent 68 ÷ (1,65)² = 24,98.
  • Système impérial
  • BMI = [poids en livres ÷ (taille en pouces)²] × 703.
  • Exemple : 150 livres et 5’5″, soit 65 pouces, donnent [150 ÷ (65)²] × 703.

"BMI is calculated the same way for both adults and children. With the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Since height is commonly measured in centimeters, divide height in centimeters by 100 to obtain height in meters. Example: Weight = 68 kg, Height = 165 cm (1.65 m). Calculation: 68 ÷ (1.65)² = 24.98. Calculate BMI in pounds and inches by dividing weight in pounds by height in inches squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703. Example: Weight = 150 lbs, Height = 5’5″ (65″). Calculation: [150 ÷ (65)²] × 703 ="
