Overweight · 196 cm (6 ft 5 in), 100 kg (220 lb)
How it is calculated
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)² = 100 ÷ (1.96 × 1.96) = 100 ÷ 3.8416 = 26.0.
At 196 cm the healthy-weight range (BMI 18.5–24.9) is 71.1–95.7 kg; 100 kg is 4.3 kg above the top of the healthy range. BMI 22 – the middle of the range – would be 84.5 kg.
