Formulas Used In Corporal Mass Index Calculator
The Corporal Mass Index (CMI) is calculated using the following formula:
\[ \text{CMI} = \frac{\text{Weight (kg)}}{\text{Height (m)}^3} \]
Where:
- Weight is in kilograms (convert from pounds if necessary: 1 lb = 0.453592 kg)
- Height is in meters (convert from other units if necessary)
Measurement Guide
| Measurement | How to Measure |
|---|---|
| Height | Stand straight against a wall with your heels, back, and head touching the wall. Measure from the floor to the top of your head. |
| Weight | Weigh yourself in the morning after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking. Use a calibrated scale on a hard, flat surface. |
Examples (with full solutions)
Example 1: Adult Male (Simple Mode)
Height: 180 cm (1.80 m), Weight: 75 kg
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{CMI} &= \frac{\text{Weight (kg)}}{\text{Height (m)}^3} \\ &= \frac{75}{(1.80)^3} \\ &= \frac{75}{5.832} \\ &= 12.86 \end{aligned} \]
Interpretation: A CMI of 12.86 falls in the normal range for males.
Example 2: Adult Female (Advance Mode)
Height: 165 cm (1.65 m), Weight: 60 kg
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{CMI} &= \frac{60}{(1.65)^3} \\ &= \frac{60}{4.492125} \\ &= 13.36 \end{aligned} \]
Interpretation: A CMI of 13.36 falls in the normal range for females.
Example 3: Person with Higher CMI
Height: 170 cm (1.70 m), Weight: 90 kg
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{CMI} &= \frac{90}{(1.70)^3} \\ &= \frac{90}{4.913} \\ &= 18.32 \end{aligned} \]
Interpretation: A CMI of 18.32 falls in the elevated range indicating increased health risk.
