SBMI Chart

low moderate high very high health risk

This SBMI chart shows your BMI value and its age-dependent significance for the health. Your value is marked in the centre of the highlighted area.

Calculation

The calculation of the body mass index is based on a height of 174 cm and a weight of 57 kilogrammes. New calculation?

BMI = 19

Your body mass index (BMI) is calculated as exactly 18.8 kilogrammes per square metre.

Health aspects

Your weight is at a marginally lower level; in our view, it still should still be fine for your health. By classification of the WHO, you are "normalweight".

Being slim due to fitness is good for your health. In contrast, being slim or losing weight due to nicotine, or a reduced appetite, poor digestion or a serious disease would be a bad sign. Thus, your health prospects are excellent if you do not smoke and if your weight remains stable.

SBMI = 30/70

This assessment is based on the newly developed Smart Body Mass Index. Its ideal range is between 30/70 and 39/70.

Your Smart Body Mass Index (SBMI) is calculated as 30/70 or "30 points out of 70".

Weight stability

A stable weight at this level can be optimal but gaining some weight by building up muscle mass could be even better.

Weight management

With a weight gain of 2 kilogrammes up to a target weight of 59 kilogrammes, you would reach your optimal weight range.

Nutrition

Eat a variety of foods that you like, optimally including five servings of fruit and/or vegetables a day. Avoid eating too sweet, too fat and too much.

You have never been on a specific diet

Well done. The best diet is "no diet", as long as the body is getting a well-balanced, mainly plant-based mix of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins and enough, but not too much energy.

Physical activity

Do physical exercise at least for half an hour daily at moderate to vigorous intensity.

Important to know

This feedback can only be based on the inevitably limited extent of the data that you have entered here. This data has been evaluated by comparing it with the results of the most comprehensive study published so far on the BMI and its associated health risks.

The results and comments above can only give you an estimate that applies to all young men at 19 years of age with a body mass index of 19, as a statistical group. They are non-personal. They should never replace medical advice.  Read more...
