  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?
