19 BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) © HEB

20 Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s height and weight. It is a measure of body fatness and applies to adults over 20, not to growing children. A person can use their BMI to find out if they’re a healthy weight for their height. © HEB

21 Calculating Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI = Weight in kg (Height in m)2 Example If a person is 1.60 m tall and weighs 65 kg, BMI = = = © HEB

22 What BMI figures mean BMI What it means Less than 18.4
You are underweight for your height 18.5 to 24.9 You are an ideal weight for your height 25 to 29.9 You are overweight 30 to 39.9 You are obese Over 40 You are very (or morbidly) obese © HEB

23 Fred Flintstone Height = 180 cm = 1.80 m Weight = 105 kg BMI = 105 =
1.802 What it means - OBESE © HEB

24 Fred Flintstone Height = 180 cm = 1.80 m Weight = 105 kg
BMI = = = 32.4 What it means - OBESE © HEB

25 Marge Simpson Height = 1.50 m Weight = 55 kg BMI = 55 = 1.502
What it means - © HEB

26 Marge Simpson Height = 1.50 m Weight = 55 kg BMI = 55 = 55 = 24.4
What it means - IDEAL WEIGHT © HEB

27 Olive Oyle Height = 1.84 m Weight = 62 kg BMI = 62 = 1.842
What it means - © HEB

28 Olive Oyle Height = 1.84 m Weight = 63 kg BMI = 62 = 62 = 18.3
What it means - ALMOST UNDERWEIGHT © HEB

29 Nigel Thornberry Height = 192 cm Weight = 105 kg BMI = 105 1.922
What it means - © HEB

30 Nigel Thornberry Height = 192 cm Weight = 105 kg
BMI = = = 28.5 What it means - OVERWEIGHT © HEB
