Body Mass Index
(BMI)
Body
mass index, or BMI, is a new term to most
people. However, it is the measurement of choice
for many physicians and researchers studying
obesity. BMI uses a mathematical formula that
takes into account both a person's height and
weight. BMI equals a person's weight in
kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
(BMI=kg/m2).

To use the table, find the appropriate height in the
left-hand column. Move across the row to the given
weight. The number at the top of the column is the BMI
for that height and weight. Or, use our
BMI calculator.
