BMI = 18
Your body mass index (BMI) is calculated as exactly 18.4 kilograms per square meter.
Health aspects
Your weight is at a lower level; in our view, it may be less than optimal for your health. By classification of the WHO, you are "underweight".
Your low body mass will not be a problem for your health provided you are getting sufficient amounts of vital substances such as protein, minerals, vitamins and essential fats. A low but stable weight may be fine, but an unintended weight loss could be a sign of poor health.
SBMI = 24/70
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 24/70 or "24 points out of 70".
Weight stability
Do not lose any weight. A small gain in weight could be beneficial, preferably by building up muscle mass.
Weight management
With a weight gain of 6 pounds up to a target weight of 110 pounds, your health would benefit.
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.
Physical activity
Do physical exercise at least for half an hour daily at moderate to vigorous intensity. Walking or cycling may be better for your joints than jogging.
