Age can be taken into account when calculating the Body Mass Index (BMI) and accompanying weight status using the BMI Calculator. To convert units into US or metric units, use the "Metric Units" page for the International System of Units or the "Other Units" option. It should be noted that the calculator not only calculates BMI but also the Ponderal Index; both are covered in full below.
BMI Calculator
Based on a person's height and weight, BMI calculates their leanness or corpulence and is used to determine tissue mass. It's commonly used to determine whether an individual is at a healthy body weight for their height. To be more precise, the BMI value is used to determine a person's classification as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on where the value falls in the range. These BMI ranges are subject to regional and age-based variations, and they are occasionally further classified into extremely underweight and extremely obese subcategories.
