BMI is the measurement of your weight in relation to your height.
The mathematical formula for calculating BMI is:
| BMI
= ( |
Weight
in Pounds
(Height in inches)2 |
)
x 703 |
As BMI increases, the risk for certain health problems and diseases (high blood
pressure, diabetes, certain forms of cancer) increases. The CDC has created the
following BMI ranges:
| BMI Weight Status |
| < 18.5 |
Underweight |
| 18.5 - 24.9 |
Healthy |
| 25.0 - 29.9 |
Overweight |
| > 30 |
Obese |
