How to use the BMI calculator
In South Africa, we use the metric system (kg and cm).
- Enter your age (years).
- Select your gender.
- Enter your height in centimetres (cm). 1 metre = 100 centimetres so if you are 1.53m then you will be 153cm.
- Enter your weight in kilograms (kg).
The ideal BMI should between 20 and 25.
There is a strong correlation between your BMI and body fat. Body builders may have a high BMI although their body fat content is low.
