Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height.
BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead
to health problems. [www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/]
Body Mass Index is calculated as the person's body weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of his/her height (in metres), and the
healthy weight range widely used by doctors all around the world to determine obesity status is based on this very measurement.
You can use our BMI Calculator to calculate your Body Mass Index and use the following table to analyse your healthy-weight status.
