Understanding BMI
When dealing with obesity, or any other kind of weight problems, certain numbers measuring the ratio of a person's weight and height will come up. The body mass index (BMI) is one of the most recognized and reliable indicators used today to identify possible weight problems. It is a scale system that applies to both men and women, regardless of age or frame size. On the other hand, when it comes to children and teens, the interpretation of BMI is both age- and sex-specific.
Calculating Your Body Mass Index (BMI)
The likelihood of being confronted by the 'ever so popular' Body Mass Index (BMI) while dieting, or facing obesity and other weight related problems, is immense. Used as a comparative analysis of people with similar heights, Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person's weight and height, providing a reliable indicator of body fatness. BMI results are categorized, and while mostly used for adults with obesity or diet issues, children and teens with weight problems can also have their Body Mass Index measured. It should be noted that BMI values can vary significantly for different ethnic groups.
