What Is BMI?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index — a simple measurement of your weight relative to your height. It’s used globally (including in Singapore) to assess if you’re underweight, at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese.

It’s not perfect, but it’s a quick way to gauge if your current weight could be affecting your health.


How to Calculate Your BMI

The Formula:

BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ Height (m)²

☝️ Example:
You’re 70kg and 1.65m tall.
BMI = 70 ÷ (1.65 × 1.65) = 25.7


BMI Categories (Based on Asian Standards – More Accurate for Singapore)

CategoryBMI RangeHealth Risk
Underweight< 18.5Nutritional deficiency
Normal Weight18.5 – 22.9Low risk
Overweight23 – 27.4Moderate risk
Obese27.5 and aboveHigh risk for health issues

Is BMI Everything?

Not quite. BMI doesn’t:

  • Distinguish between fat and muscle
  • Show fat distribution (like visceral vs. subcutaneous fat)
  • Reflect water retention or bloating

That’s why slimmer people can still have dangerous internal fat — especially around organs (visceral fat), which increases risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.


How to Use BMI the Smart Way

Think of BMI as a starting point, not a full-body diagnosis.
If your BMI is in the overweight or obese range — or even in the normal range but you’re feeling bloated or flabby — your body might need more targeted support.

That’s where V SLIM, Viscera X, and V Sculptor can make all the difference.
