It
is the equation used to judge your weight and it equals the
weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in
meter2 .
BMI= Weight (Kgs)/Height (m2)
For example: A person weighing 70 kilograms with a height of
170 cm. The square of this height is 1.7 X 1.7 equals 2.89
and his body mass index will be 70/2.89= 24.2 kg/m2.
The normal BMI ranges between 21-25 kg/m2.
Morbid obesity (when obesity starts to disease producing) is
a stage that starts when the BMI exceeds 40 kg/m2.
