What is BMI?
BMI stands for body mass index which is a formula which relates Body Weight to Height. This formula can be used as a general guide to determine whether you are a healthy weight. It should be noted that since the measurement does not take account of the relationship between muscle and body fat it should only be used as a guide.
It isn't suitable for children, young people or older people.

People who are in the overweight (25 - 29.9) or obese (greater than 30) scales are considered to have too much body fat. People who are in the underweight (less than 18.5) scale, on the other hand, are considered to have too little body fat.
