   May 17, 2024 · BMI = weight / height², where the weight should be in kg and height should be in meters. Therefore, convert height in cm to meters: 180/100 = 1.8 m. So the BMI calculation is weight / height² = 75/1.8² = 23.148. So it is in the normal (healthy) range. Note that this result does not depend on your gender!

   What percentile should a child be on?

   • The 75th along is among the tallest, at 75 percentile height. The one in the middle has median height: 50th percentile.
