BODY MASS INDEX
What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
Body mass index (BMI) is a widely used international standard that measures weight to height
ratio to determine obesity. BMI is expressed by the following terms:
Body weight (kg)
[Body height (m)]2
The BMI is only a general indicator of your health level. As such, accuracies may vary
depending on your body type and composition. Consult your physician to find out more about
your current health.
To convert pounds or stone pounds to kilograms, and inches to meters, refer to the
conversion reference on page 13.
