    Body Mass Index: Prepared By: Group 4 - Hu! Hu!

    Body mass index (BMI) is a measurement that uses height and weight to indicate weight status. It is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. BMI correlates with body fat but can vary by age and gender. BMI ranges are used to screen for underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. However, BMI is not a diagnostic tool and does not directly measure body fat. Other health factors also contribute to disease risk.

    The term BMI is often used when discussing
    the obesity epidemic, but what is BMI?
    BMI is a tool for
    indicating weight status.
    It is a number that
    shows body weight
    adjusted for height.

    BMI correlates with body fat.

    The relation between fatness and BMI differs with age
    and gender.
    For example, women are more likely to have a
    higher percent of body fat than men for the same
    BMI.

    On average, older people may have more body fat
    than younger adults with the same BMI.
    BMI is a tool for indicating weight
    status.

    It is a number that shows body weight
    adjusted for height.

    BMI can be calculated with simple math
    or by charting height and weight.

    BMI is a screening tool used to
    identify individuals who are
    underweight or overweight.

    BMI is NOT a diagnostic tool.
    HOW DOES BMI RELATE TO HEALTH?
    The BMI ranges are based on the effect body weight has on
    disease and death. As BMI increases, the risk for some
    disease increases.

    Some common conditions related to overweight and obesity
    include:
    Premature death
    Cardiovascular disease
    High blood pressure
    Osteoarthritis
    Some cancers
    Diabetes
    BMI CHARTS
    The BMI chart is not for babies, children,
    teens, pregnant or breast feeding women,
    adults over 65 years old, very muscular
    people and endurance athletes such as
    runners.
    CALCULATING BMI
    BMI can be calculated with
    simple math or by charting
    height and weight.

    Find your weight (in pounds or kgs).
    Your BMI is the point on the graph where
    your height and weight meet.

    HOW TO CALCULATE BMI USING THE METRIC SYSTEM

    If you're using the metric system, you can learn how to
    calculate BMI by using the following formula:

    Weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared
    (weight (kg) / [height (m)]
    2
    ).


    An example of calculating BMI using the formula:

    Height = 165 cm (1.65 m), Weight = 68 kg

    BMI Calculation: 68 (1.65)
    2
    = 24.98

    CATEGORIES OF BMI FOR ADULTS
    AGE 20 OR OVER
    BMI Weight Status
    Below 18.5 Underweight
    18.5 24.9 Normal
    25.0 29.9 Overweight
    30.0 and Above Obese
    ABOVE A HEALTHY WEIGHT
    If your BMI lies above the normal area,
    then you may be at greater risk for
    health problems such as high blood
    pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and
    certain cancers.

    BELOW A HEALTHY WEIGHT
    If your BMI lies below the normal area, then
    you may be at risk for health problems such
    as irregular heart rhythms, depression,
    anemia, and osteoporosis.
    Some people have a low BMI, but are eating
    well and have lots of energy. The best
    advice for people below a healthy weight is
    to be aware of their health risks and
    maintain a stable weight by eating well and
    keeping active.



    THESE MEN HAVE THE SAME HEIGHT,
    WEIGHT, AND BMI, BUT MAY HAVE
    DIFFERENT PERCENT BODY FAT.

    BMI is only one of many factors
    used to predict risk for disease.
    It is important to remember that
    weight is only one factor related to
    disease.
    BMI IS THE NOT THE ONLY INDICATOR
    FOR HEALTH RISK
    Other Factors That Are Important
    When Calculating Health Risk
    Include:

    Diet
    Physical Activity
    Waist Circumference
    Blood Pressure
    Blood Sugar Level
    Cholesterol Level
    Family History of disease
