To find your own BMI . . .
Multiply your height (in metres) by itself, then divide your weight (in kilograms) by this number. The resulting total is your BMI.
For a person whose height is 1.6m, and weight is 72 kilograms, this is how your sum would work out:
1.6m (height) x 1.6m (height) = 2.56
72kg (weight) divided by 2.56 = 28.125.
The BMI is therefore 28.125, which means the subject is overweight.
This is merely a guide that should be taken into account along with such factors as cholesterol level and blood pressure to provide an accurate picture of your state of health. As a general rule, though, try and stay within your normal weight range. |
