Corporal Mass Index Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Corporal Mass Index (CMI) is:

\[ CMI = \frac{M}{H^2} \]

Where:

Corporal Mass Index (CMI): A measure of body fat based on a person’s weight in relation to their height. It is used to categorize individuals into different weight categories, such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese.
Body Mass (M): The weight of the individual in kilograms.
Height (H): The height of the individual in meters.
Significance: The CMI helps in assessing whether an individual has a healthy body weight for a given height, which can be an indicator of potential health risks.

Let's say the body mass (M) is 70 kg and the height (H) is 1.75 m. Using the formula:

\[ CMI = \frac{70}{1.75^2} = 22.86 \]

So, the Corporal Mass Index (CMI) is 22.86.
