1. What is the Reverse BMI Calculator?

The Reverse BMI Calculator calculates weight based on BMI and height using UK metric units. This is useful for determining target weight when you know your desired BMI and current height.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the reverse BMI equation:

Where:

• \( BMI \) — Body Mass Index (unitless)
• \( Height \) — Height in centimeters (cm)
• \( Weight \) — Calculated weight in kilograms (kg)

Explanation: This equation rearranges the standard BMI formula to solve for weight instead of BMI.

3. Importance of Weight Calculation

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

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter BMI value (unitless) and height in centimeters. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a healthy BMI range?
A: A healthy BMI typically ranges from 18.5 to 24.9 for adults.

Q2: Why use UK metric units?
A: This calculator uses centimeters and kilograms, which are standard metric units used in the UK for height and weight measurements.

Q3: Can this calculator be used for children?
A: BMI calculations for children require age and sex-specific percentiles. This calculator is designed for adult use.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise based on the BMI formula, but individual body composition may vary.

Q5: What if I want to use imperial units?
A: Convert measurements to metric units first, or use a calculator specifically designed for imperial units.
