IMC Calculator takes 2 inputs to calculate IMC
All measurements using metric system.
IMC is computed using the following formula:
IMC <- weight/height2
As an example, for a height of 1.70m and weight of 70kgs we we'd have:
height<-1.7
weight<-70
IMC<-70/(1.70^2)
IMC
[1] 24.22145
With the results of computation, the number is then compared to a table to know the result:
| IMC | Result |
|---|---|
| <=18.5 | Underweight |
| 18.5 < IMC < 25 | Normal |
| >=25 | Overweight |
