His BMI would be 22.2, which is classed as "normal" however, BMI is not a great indicator of anything, as it does not differentiate between lean muscle mass and fat (which is why super fit athletes are typically obese according to their BMI) A more accurate indicator is the Body Fat Percentage. But this requires more information than just the height and weight for accurate results.
As a rough guestimate however, this persons BFP is 13%
To work out the Body Fat Percentage you need the following figures, note they need to be accurate within 0.5cm for best results:
- Height: taken without shoes
- Neck: taken below the larynx sloping slightly downward at the front
- Waist: for men at navel height, for women at the smallest point
- Hips: (women only) at the largest point
(Note for even further accuracy, a skin fold caliper test should be carried out to ascertain the persons skinfold reading)
There are several online calculators to help you work out BFP.
Once you have your percentage figure, cross reference it with the tables below to see where you stand
