BMI

Often the degree of people's healthy weight is represented by the Body Mass Index BMI.

It indicates whether you have a healthy weight relative to your height. Note: It is only an estimate. Not all people are built the same while the calculations are different for Adults between the ages of 19 and 69 Men, Women, Children from 2 years and older. BMI is less suitable if you are heavily built, very muscular, pregnant, very tall or very small and even the calculation is different if you have an Asian background.

Your waist circumference gives an estimate of the fat distribution in your body. Everybody is different.

If in doubt, you can always ask your doctor or caregiver for advice.

Your BMI is calculated as follows:

divide weight by your height squared in meters so for example if you weigh 80 kg and your height is 180 cm then divide that by your (height x length) so 80 : 3.24 = 24.6 is your BMI. A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25.
