Abstract
This paper presents the development and implementation of a
Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator, designed to assess individual health status based on weight and height metrics. The BMI calculator utilizes the formula of weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters to determine an individual's BMI. It provides immediate feedback, categorizing the result into health ranges such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) standards.
The tool is designed with a user-friendly interface to ensure
accessibility for a wide audience, including individuals with limited technical skills. The development process involved rigorous testing to ensure accuracy and reliability. Additionally, the calculator is adaptable for integration into various platforms, such as mobile applications and healthcare websites, enhancing its utility in different settings.
The BMI calculator aims to promote awareness of healthy body
weight and encourage proactive health management. It serves as an educational tool, highlighting the importance of maintaining a healthy BMI for overall well-being. Despite its benefits, the limitations of BMI as a sole health indicator are acknowledged, including its inability to account for factors such as muscle mass, distribution of fat, and individual metabolic differences. The paper discusses these limitations and suggests complementary methods for a more comprehensive health assessment.
