1. What is the Reverse BMI Calculator?

The Reverse BMI Calculator calculates mass (weight) for a given BMI and height. This is useful when you know your target BMI and height, and want to determine the corresponding weight.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( BMI \) — Body Mass Index (unitless)
• \( Height \) — Height in meters (m)
• \( Mass \) — Mass in kilograms (kg)

Explanation: This formula rearranges the standard BMI calculation to solve for mass instead of BMI.

3. Importance of Mass Calculation

Details: Calculating target weight from BMI helps in setting realistic weight goals for health management, fitness planning, and medical treatment.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter BMI (unitless value) and height in meters. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a healthy BMI range?
A: For adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered healthy.

Q2: Why calculate mass from BMI?
A: This helps determine target weight when you know your desired BMI and current height.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but individual body composition may vary.

Q4: Can this be used for children?
A: BMI interpretation differs for children and adolescents. Consult pediatric growth charts for appropriate assessments.

Q5: What units should I use?
A: Height must be in meters and the result will be in kilograms.
