BMI – Body Mass Index

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters.
A high BMI can indicate high body fatness.
It’s a good way to gauge whether your weight is in healthy proportion to your height. In fact, knowing your BMI can help you – and your GP – determine any health risks you may face if it’s outside of the healthy range. Being overweight can lead to a range of chronic conditions.
