BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)Although weight alone is a fair indicator as to whether a person is overweight, the most widely used clinical indicator is the Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is calculated from your height and weight and is a useful measure of overweight and obesity. BMI is an estimate of body fat and a good gauge of your risk for diseases that can occur with more body fat. It allows for natural variations in body shape, giving a healthy weight range for a particular height. The higher your BMI, the higher your risk for certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers. For assessing abdominal fat, the waist circumference should also be used. Parents, please note that for children aged two and over, BMI centile is used. This is a measure of whether the child is a healthy weight for their height, age and sex. How to calculate BMI? The calculation divides the adult's weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared. BMI= Weight (kg) / height2 (m) Here is an example: An individual weighs 160 pounds and is 5'7'' tall Step 1. First convert lbs to kg by dividing weight in lb by 2.2
Step 2. Then convert height from inches to meters by height in inches x 2.54 and divide that by 100.
Step 3. Work out your BMI divide weight in kilograms (kg) by height in metres (m), then divide the answer by height again For example: 72kg / 1.70 = 42.35 / 1.7 = 24.9 (BMI) Meaning of the BMI value For most adults an ideal BMI range is between 20 - 24.9
