Calculate your BMI !
(Body Mass Index)
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a number that is calculated using the weight
and height of a person. It is a pretty accurate indicator of the fat in the body for
most people. BMI does not measure the body fat in a direct way. BMI can be
considered an alternative to measuring the body fat directly. What is more,
calculating the BMI is a cheap and accessible way of monitoring the weight
categories that could create health issues.
For women, an excellent BMI is between 21 and 23. Overweight is
indicated by a BMI 20% bigger than the highest possible value (over 27.3), while
obesity has values 40% bigger than the maximum ideal indicator (over 32.3).
For men, an excellent BMI is between 22 and 24. Overweight is indicated
by a BMI 16% bigger than the highest possible value (over 27.8), while obesity has
values 40% bigger than the maximum ideal indicator (over 31.1).
Calculating the BMI is recommended for persons over 20 years old. In
case of children and adolescents calculating it is more complex and that is why
different methods of calculating the BMI are applied.
