Body Mass Index (BMI)

Hi Bloggers, this is my second blog and this time I am going to speak to you about the Body Mass Index.

The Index of Mass of Body is a measure of association between the mass and the height of an individual, this is represented in tables of growth of the CDC by age so much for children as girls. 

This is the table of Body Mass Index:

• Underweight: BMI <18.5
• Normal: BMI 18.5 - 25
• Overweight: BMI 25 - 30
• Obese: BMI >30

The BMI is calculated by the following formula:

For example:

1. 1'67m x 1'67m : 64kg = 22.9 BMI

This person is within what is considered normal, i.e. either very thin or very fat, but this also goes according to the Constitution, habits and many more factors of a person, so that if you lead a life with food healthy and make sport more likely will it be that you're in your correct BMI.
