How do I work out my BMI? (Body Mass Index)

BMI In 3 Easy Steps… 1. Work out your height in metres and multiply the figure by itself 2. Measure your weight in kilograms 3. Divide the weight by the height squared I.e. Client ‘A’ - 1.54m in height and weight 60kg Therefore: 1.54 x 1.54 = 2.37 then divide this sum into the weight i.e. 60/2.37 = BMI is 25.31 Healthy Range of BMI is 20-25 BMI alone is not a good guide to who is at most risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease, Metabolic Syndrome, Diabetes and related cancers. Use Waist Measurement as a good guide A waist circumference greater than 80cm (32in) for women and 94cm (37in) for men indicates increased risk. Australia’s Government are leading many health campaigns using this measurement as an excellent guide to improving health.
