how to calculate bmi for men - #41505
I am really confused about how to calculate bmi for men. My brother just got back from a health check, and the doctor told him his BMI is a bit high, which freaked him out. He’s always been a bit bigger but never thought it was a big deal ya know? Anyway, I looked online for info on how to calculate bmi for men, but there seems to be sooo many formulas and methods. He’s about 6 feet tall and weighs around 220 pounds, I think, but I can't seem to get the math right. I read something about the formula being weight in kilograms over height in meters squared, or maybe it’s the other way around? Honestly, math is not my strong suit, and I keep mixing up my pounds and kilos. Like, do I need to divide his weight by 2.2 or something to get it in kilos? And then the height, I have no clue how to change feet to meters! Could someone explain the whole thing in a simple way? Also, once I figure out how to calculate bmi for men, how worried should we be about the number that comes out? Should he be aiming for a specific range? Just kinda feeling overwhelmed with it all, any help would be appreciated!
