BMI

Body Mass Index or index of body weight (BMI) expresses the relationship between body weight and height. Normal BMI ranges from 18,5–25. Values below 18.5 indicate underweight or malnutrition, values above 25 indicate overweight, above 30 indicate obesity.

BMI can be calculated as the ratio of weight in kg to square root of height in meters.


 * $$\mbox{BMI} = \frac{ \mbox{weight (kg)} }{ \mbox{(height (m))}^2 }$$
