Why Weight

What is My Body Mass Index?

By Matthew Gendle

What is my body mass index? People can be confused on how to work out their body mass index, in this article I will talk about how to work it out easily.

Your body mass index is the is the medical method of working out whether your weight is healthy. It is worked out by using your height and weight data. BMI (body mass index) is worked out dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres. The exact formula is as follows:

Weight (in pounds) x 704.5 divided by Height (in inches) x Height (in inches).

Here is how to work out whether your BMI is healthy or not:

If your BMI is 19 to 24.9 you have a healthy weight.
If your BMI is 25 to 29.9 you are considered to be overweight and may incur moderate health risks.
If your BMI is 30+ you are considered to be obese. Obesity is linked to increased risk of cancer, heart disease and other health problems.

Hopefully you have worked out your BMI and found yourself within 19 to 24.9! If so that is brilliant and you have nothing to worry about. If you found your BMI in the 30+ you really need to think about your weight and your health.

Sometimes this can be a wake up call for many people, and that they must start to lose some weight, or health problems are just around the corner. Take action, start to change your lifestyle today, start a weight loss program.

Losing weight today can be easy and enjoyable. There are many weight loss programs on the market today and finding the right one to suit your needs is very easy.
