Understanding Your Health Risk – via Body Mass Index

Understanding Your Health Risk

via Body Mass Index

An easy-to-use, interactive application that helps you understand your health risk based on your Body Mass Index

Presented by sentient88

We all know the key elements to living a Healthy Life ....

But how do we measure and monitor how well we are doing?

Web-based Body Mass Index Calculator

We have developed an easy-to-use online application that enables users to access at any time and calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI) by entering their weight and height information.

After getting their Body Mass Index computed, the users can easily refer to the Health Risk by BMI Chart that is included on the same webpage to understand which health risk category they would fall under.

Algorithm for Body Mass Index:

Let 'x' be the user's weight in kg, and 'y' be the user's height in m.

Hence, the BMI is computed as follows:

my_bmi <- x / y2

For example, a user who is 75 kg and 1.80 m tall:

x <- 75
y <- 1.80
my_bmi <- x / y^2
my_bmi

## [1] 23.14815
