BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a weight-to-height ratio
commonly used to classify underweight, overweight
and obesity in adults. This scale is capable of
calculating your BMI. The BMI categories presented
in the diagram and the table below are recognized by
WHO (World Health Organization), and they can be
used to interpret BMI values.
You can check your BMI category in the table below
BMI category
BMI Value
Interpretation
Health problems based on
BMI only
< 18.5 Underweight Moderate
18.6-24.9 Normal weight Low
25-29.9 Overweight Moderate
30+ Obesity High
If the diagram/table shows that your
weight does not fall within the normal
weight range, you should consult your
doctor before taking any actions. BMI categories
can only be applied to adults (over 19 years of
age).
BMR
Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the estimated amount
of energy measured in calories that is used by your
body at rest to maintain normal functioning of the
organism. This continuous work consumes 60-70%
of calories, and includes heartbeat, breathing and body
temperature maintenance. Numerous factors, including
age, weight, height, sex, diet and lifestyle have an impact
on the BMR index.
