How is the BMI calculated?

BMI =weight in kg/Height² in m. For example, I am 1.60 m for 50 kg. I take out my calculator and type in 50/1.60² =19.5 . My BMI is 19.5.

The result obtained is always a number between 16.5 and 40. Then, by reporting the result obtained in the table below, we can assess the risk to our health, and our possible need for a diet.
