The Body Mass Index (or BMI) is a way of seeing if your weight is appropriate for your height. The actual calculation is your weight (in kilograms) divided by your height (in metres) squared but it's also easy to read on the chart. BMI can be divided into several categories and generally the higher your BMI, the greater your risk of a large range of medical problems. An example of a BMI calculator can be found here: http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm BMI =========Category Below 18.5 ======Underweight 18.5-25 ======= Normal 25-30 =======Overweight Over 30 =======Obese 1 Like |

Calculating my BMI is one of the many things i've learnt from Nairaland. There was this thread on here sometime ago about High BP, thats where somebody taught me. Its good we keep an eye on our BMI to avoid some avoidable illnesses |
