Answers: bmi?underweight?
your bmi index=17.4
normal bmi range=18.5-25
underweight<18.5
overweight=25-29.9
obese<30
formula to calculate bmi=weight in kg/(height in m multiply height in m)
so your bmi must be within 18-25
your bmi is=17.2
yes, you are underweight.
take care :]
According to the charts.....
If your BMI is 19 to 24.9 you have a healthy weight
A person your size should weigh around 90- 110 lbs.
Your not that bad, but I would consider going on a diet! LOL
Yes, you are underweight. Not sure on bmi.
Wow, your around 17.4 you should go to at least 92lbs. you'll be fine there! Your underweight, and no offense, by the time your 18, if your not 5'0'' your considered a midget.
your BMI is underweight (17.2), but at your age the BMI isn't strictly applicable. If you eat well and are health there probably isn't a problem. The BMI doesn't take into account body type which can be a major factor, especially when your going though puberty.
Some people are just naturally very skinny, the BMI has to be able to tell the majority of people when they are under or overweight, therefore it doesn't accommodate for people with body types that tend towards extremes. (for example my mother and brother, who are both "underweight" and both eat what ever they damn well feel like!!!)
However if you've had to work hard to get down to that weight, i.e. if it doesn't come naturally, then there probably is a problem, and you should look at putting some weight back on. Also take into account how you actually look, if you look gaunt, then your probably underweight, if you can't tell, then maybe go ask your doctor, because they will know what they're talking about and be honest with you
Yes, you are slightly underweight but not a problem.
Your BMI is 17.4
