How to Calculate Body Mass Index ( BMI ) in Khelo india Assessor App
What does it measure:
Body Composition refers primarily to the distribution of muscle and fat in the body. Body size such as height, lengths and girths are also grouped under this component.
The test performed is Body Mass Index (BMI), which is calculated from body Weight (W) and height(H). BMI = W / (H x H), where W = body weight in kilograms and H = height in meters. The higher the score usually indicating higher levels of body fat.
Measuring Height Accurately
Remove the participant’s shoes, bulky clothing, and hair ornaments, and unbraid hair that interferes with the measurement.
Take the height measurement on flooring that is not carpeted and against a flat surface such as a wall with no molding.
Have the participant stand with feet flat, together, and back against the wall. Make sure legs are straight, arms are at sides, and shoulders are level.
Make sure the participant is looking straight ahead and that the line of sight is parallel with the floor.
Take the measurement while the participant stands with head, shoulders, buttocks, and heels touching the flat surface (wall). (See illustration.) Depending on the overall body shape of the participant, all points may not touch the wall.
Use a flat headpiece to form a right angle with the wall and lower the headpiece until it firmly touches the crown of the head.
Make sure the measurer's eyes are at the same level as the headpiece.
Lightly mark where the bottom of the headpiece meets the wall. Then, use a metal tape to measure from the base on the floor to the marked measurement on the wall to get the height measurement.
Accurately record the height to the nearest 0.1 centimeter.
Measuring Weight Accurately
Use a digital scale. Avoid using bathroom scales that are spring- loaded. Place the scale on firm flooring (such as tile or wood) rather than carpet.
Have the participant remove shoes and heavy clothing, such as sweaters.
Have the participant stand with both feet in the center of the scale. Record the weight to the nearest decimal fraction (for example, 25.1 kilograms).
Infrastructure/Equipment Required:
Flat, Clean surface, Weighing Machine, Stadiometer/Measuring Tape pasted on a wall
