body mass index

a BMI is a straightforward calculation that gives an index number. scientists have worked out statistically what the healthy range is. the calculation looks like this

BMI= BODY WEIGHT (KG)/ HEIGHT X HEIGHT(M2)

for example

BMI= 100 (KG)/ 1.80 X 1.80 (OR 1.80 SQUARED) = 30.9

BMI= Body Mass Index.

Based on your height, and age it will show how much fat you have on your body. Sometimes it even shows you fat/muscle ratio on your body as well.

I would either go online and they have several BMI calculators

Or go to your doctor.
