HE4LTH - smart body weight app with BMI formula

The official body-mass index (BMI) has been found to be faulty in many cases. For example if you have a lot of muscle mass or high bone density (or both) the BMI formula can faultily label you as obese. Also women who are curvy at hips and bust can be labeled "overweight" by the BMI formula though their waistlines are all healthy. This is where waist to height ratio comes in - combining several calculations with your gender and age we try to assess what makes up your BMI. This application has been created for you to have a more accurate estimate of your physical health what comes to body weight, among other useful information.


HE4LTH is a physical health application that takes into account five different factors: your height, weight, gender, waist circumference and your age to calculate four indicators - Body Mass Index (BMI), waist to height ratio (WHtR), approximate body fat percentage (to get exact fat percentage you need medical tools) and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). In practice, BMR means the minimum amount of energy expenditure at rest - the energy you use if doing nothing. Finding this out can help you plan diets etc.
