NS: Is Healthy BMI Range follows Health Promotion Board's?

Cedr1c SG

I'm not referring to the normal BMI calculations used in schools.

weight/ height x height

How do they calculate? I'm currently 74kg, height of 175, and under the above formula I'm considered "moderate risk".

To get into the healthy range, I need to be 70kg. Losing another 4kg will make me look like a skeleton lol.

Is it true that in medical they calculate via another method?

$\mathrm{BMI} = \frac{\mbox{mass} \ \mbox{(kg)}}{\left( \mbox{height}(\mathrm{m}) ight)^2}$
