Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. A reliable indicator of body fatness for most people, BMI is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to avoidable illnesses.
Calculating your BMI is easy. Just divide your weight in kilos by the square of your height in meters. Thus, if your weight is 75 kilos and your height is 1.75 meters, your BMI is
75/1.75
2 = 75/3.06 = 24.5
Experts say that people with BMIs between 19 and 22 live longest.
Classifications vary a bit, but the one below should be a good enough guide:
BMI Weight Condition
Below 18.5 BMI Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 BMI Normal Weight
25.0 - 29.9 BMI Overweight
30.0 - 34.9 BMI Obese
35.0 - 39.9 BMI Severely Obese
40.0 - 49.9 BMI Morbidly Obese
50.0 - 59.9 BMI Super Obese
