How
To Determine Your Body Mass Index
from the
Partnership for Healthy Weight Management
|
Body mass index, or BMI, is a new term
to most people. However, it is the measurement of choice for many physicians
and researchers studying obesity. BMI uses a mathematical formula that takes
into account both a person's height and weight. BMI equals a person's weight in
kilograms divided by height in meters squared. (BMI=kg/m2).

The table below has already done the math and metric
conversions. To use the table, find the appropriate height in the left-hand
column. Move across the row to the given weight. The number at the top of the
column is the BMI for that height and weight. Or, use our
BMI
calculator.
