Body Mass Index - BMI
Body Mass Index - BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI): Nutrition is another important aspect of development. Internationally, a standard is term as Body Mass Index (BMI) which is recognised to determine whether an adult person is undernourished or not. If we divide the weight of a person by the squares of his/her height, we get a ratio which is called BMI. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness. BMI can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems but it is not diagnostic of the body fatness or health of an individual.
BMI formula = Weight in kg/ (height in meters)2
If the BMI is below 18.5, the person is undernourished and if it is over 25, the person is overweight. e.g., if the weight of a 1.65 meters tall adult is below 50.5 kg, the person will be considered undernourished. However, if the same person’s weight is over 68 kg, the person is considered overweight. This standard is not applicable for growing children.
