BMI-Body Mass Index
BMI is the recommended method for measurement of
overweight in adults. The borderline for overweight
and obesity is determined by BMI, which is closely
linked to body fat. You can measure your weight
index using the BMI function.
BMI is calculated by using the weight divided by
the height in squares. In the calculation, weight is in
kilogrammes, while height is in metres. The formula
is as follows:
BMI= [Weight (kg)]/ [(Height) metres x (Height)
metres]
