7. The international standard for assessing body size in adults is the body mass index (BMI). BMI is computed using the following formula: BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m²)  The international standard for assessing body size in adults is the body mass index (BMI). BMI is computed using the following formula: BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m²) Body mass index

8. BMI Values Under Weight< 18.5 Healthy weight range 18.5-24.5 Overweight25-30 Obese>30-40 Very obese>40

9. Waist Circumference The body-mass index does not indicate the distribution of body fat, and waist circumference is therefore also used as a measure of obesity and the associated health risks.
