Know your BMI

An interplay of diet, family history and amount of physical activity are all risk factors for obesity and weight gain. Your body mass index (BMI) can help determine into which weight category you fall.

BMI is a numerical measure of a person's body weight in relation to their height. It is calculated by dividing an individual's weight in pounds (or kilograms) by the square of their height in feet (or meters). This determines whether a person falls into the underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese categories.

Your BMI and weight are simple indicators of potential health risks associated with being underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.
