 Aims and objectives

 To design and develop a Microcontroller based BMI Calculator.

 For limitations of the the BMI.

 For a healthy weight.

 For assessing your weight and controlling your weight.

Introduction

 BMI can approximately calculate the total fats of the person present in the body.
 statistical measurement

 The most common way of calculating it is by dividing ones’ mass in kilograms or pounds by the
square of the stature in meters or inches.

 Present BMI calculators are based on the BMI-for-age chart that contains the height, the weight,
and the age.

 As technology rises, BMI calculators became available through the internet. This requires the
height and the weight of the user, and some asks for age and gender too.

 Now,also create a Microcontroller based BMI Calculator that asks for height and weight in this
project.

 The system was designed to get the accurate height and weight of the user and automatically
calculate the BMI with the help of the microcontroller.

Literature Review of BMI

Data is then automatically fed in the computer which shows the BMI of the person on the monitor screen or on
LCD display.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by (height)² (in metres²). The World Health
Organization defines overweight as having a BMI value of 25.0 to 29.9, while a BMI of greater than 30 is
considered obese. A BMI value of 18.5 to 24.9 is generally considered normal, and a BMI less than 18.5 is defined
as underweight.

BMI is a popular method of measurement for physical condition by medical staff and the general public. It has
been statisically proven as a relatively reliable indicator of health risk in general but it has its limitations.
Literature Review of BMI

 BMI Calculation for “BMI = 703 * weight (lb) / height (in) ^ 2”

 BMI-for-Age Growth Charts for Adults
 BMI less than 18.5 = Underweight
 BMI of 18.5 through 24.9 = Normal
 BMI of 25.0 through 29.9 = Overweight
 BMI of 30.0 or greater = Obese

Conclusion

 To overcome obesity as results from the accumulation of excess fat in the body.
 Support to people who increase their BMI and to decrease at risk for hypertension.
 Improved the skills in Micro-Controller.
 To analysize the difference between the actual result of BMI calculator and the result of
weight and height of body or object at outside in practical.
