What is the eBMI?

The electronic body mass index (eBMI) is a tool for quick, easy and objective calculation of the body mass index (BMI). The BMI is the most commonly used measure for estimating body weight and is calculated from the ratio of weight to height. Although it has some weaknesses because it does not take into account gender, age or body mass composition, it does provide an indication of whether body weight is low, normal or high. This classification helps to assess the statistical risk of health problems such as cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes, and can also play an important role in treatment decisions.

 
With the help of the eBMI, the BMI and its changes over time can be monitored and documented.

How to use the eBMI

After entering the height in cm and the body weight in kg, the BMI is calculated using the following equation: 

 

BMI = body weight in kg / (height in m)²

 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the following values can be used to classify the BMI:

 

below 18.5 = underweight
18.5 - 24.9 = normal weight
25.0 - 29.9 = pre-obesity
30.0 - 34.9 = obesity class I
35.0 - 39.9 = obesity class II
above 40 = obesity class III
