Health Checks -Body Mass Index

Calculate Body Mass Index

The Body Mass Index is used to determine if your weight is in the healthy range. Doctors use MBI because it compares your weight gained against your height.

1. Weight in Kilograms (80kg)

2. Divide it by the square of height in metres. For example if your weight is 80 Kg and you 1.7 m

Therefore if your height is 1.7m X1.7m = 2.89.

Divide your weight by the 2.89

80/2.89 = 27.7kg

Your BM is 27.7 which means that you would be overweight not obese.

Normal BM is between 18.3 and 25

You are overweight if your BMI is between 25 and 30.

You are obese if your BMI is 30 or higher. You are morbidly obsess if your BMI is 40 or higher
