YOGYAKARTA - How much is the ideal weight or is it in the normal category for everyone? The body mass index (IMT) is used to calculate the body weight of the idela based on high comparisons and weight. But not many people know what the body mass index is?
You could say that everyone must have an ideal weight. There is a method to measure whether the weight is ideal or not, namely through the body mass index (IMT/BMI). It is very important to know how to calculate IMT as a reference in maintaining weight.
With ideal weight, a person can maintain more health. So what is the body mass index and the formula for calculating the ideal weight?
The body mass index (body mass index) is a measurement method to determine whether the weight group is healthy or unhealthy. This calculation method was popularized by Adolphe Quetelet during the 19th century. Through BMI, you can find out the weight category starting from thinness, excess BB, and obesity.
In some cases, IMT is used as a screening tool to detect health risks in a person's body. WHO says that the results of the IMT calculation are also showing the risk of several more diseases.
Regarding the high value of IMT, there are several health problems due to obesity. A number of diseases that can arise due to obesity, including cardiovascular disease, early death, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoartritis, and several types of cancer.
How to calculate the body mass index can be done using an ideal weight carcillator. You just need to divide the weight in a kiloram unit and height through a sum of quadratic meters. Here is the formula for calculating the IMT that you need to know:
Body mass index (IMT) = weight (kg) : height (m)2
For example, you have a weight of 80 kilograms and a height of 175 cm. Multiply the height in the square: 1.75m x 1.75m = 3.06. Then, divide the weight figure with a high profile result: 80/3.06 = 26.1.
The last step, compare your BMI number (26.1) to the standard weight category for men and women based on WHO. The following is the standard weight category:
When referring to the results of the calculation of 26.1, the weight category is excessive. If you want to have an ideal weight, you have to lose a few points.
In addition, the calculation of the IMT formula in children and adolescents is different from adults. The body mass index in adolescents and children needs to be adjusted to age and gender. In this regard, the amount of fat will change along with the increase in age and the difference between girls and boys.

The IMT method can indeed be used to determine the ideal or absence of adult weight. However, the results of this calculation formula are also not arguably accurate. This method does not involve age factors, muscle mass, gender, and body fat. IMT also cannot distinguish muscles from fat.
In some cases, the calculation of the IMT is considered not to be accurate. For example, when using it to determine the body weight is already ideal or not in jamil mothers and athletes. Athletes usually have higher IMTs because their bodies are motorized. Meanwhile, pregnant women generally experience weight gains due to pregnancy.
