Know your Body Mass Index (BMI)
Step 1: Check your Weight (in Kg) & Height (in metres)
Step 2: Your BMI = Weight ÷ (Height)²
Step 3: Check your result on the ranges below;
Underweight <18.5
NORMAL/HEALTHY 18.5 - 24.9
Overweight 25 - 29.9
Obese 30 - 34.9
Extremely obese >35
BMI is a cheap & simple screening method for weight category—underweight, healthy weight, overweight, & obesity.
A BMI outside the normal/healthy range may be associated with some health problems.
For example, obesity is associated with higher risks of all-causes of death, high BP, bad cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, stroke, arthritis & some cancers.
On the other hand, being underweight increases your risk of malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, bone decay (osteoporosis), etc
In all your maintenance, maintain your weight within the healthy range! -- @DrAtangwho
