What is a BMI score?
BMI refers to a calculation called the body mass index. The BMI is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms, by the square root of a person’s height in meters. If you score from between 26 and 29.9, you are considered to be overweight, and if you score 30 or over, then you are medically obese.
To determine your own BMI score, first calculate your height in meters, by multiplying your height in inches by 2.5, and the dividing by 100. To calculate you weight in kilograms, take your weight in pounds, and divide by 2.2.
BMI= weight in kg/ (height in meters squared)
