4. What is BMI…?
 Body mass index is defined as the individual's body mass
divided by the square of his or her height .
 BMI provided a simple numeric measure of a person's
"thickness" or "thinness", allowing health professionals to
discuss over- and under-weight problems more objectively .
 Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person's
weight and height. BMI provides a reliable indicator of body
fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight
categories that may lead to health problems.

5.  BMI is a simple, quick calculation meant for use in
classifying people who are not physically active and
who have an average body composition, and is
generally considered a good indicator of whether
people are at a healthy, normal weight for their
height. Numerous research studies have related
BMI, especially the degree of overweight, to an
increased risk of developing various diseases as well
as premature death.

6. Limitations…
 Though BMI has limitations, it is an important
measurement tool. It's an rough indicator of current
health status and disease risk, based upon weight
and degree of obesity. The American Cancer
Institute says an abnormal BMI (overweight) in
women with breast cancer is associated with lower
survival rates; and according to the American Heart
Association, as BMI during childhood climbs, so
does the risk of coronary heart disease in adulthood.
Additionally, as BMI rises above 25, both blood
pressure and cholesterol increase while high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol decreases

7. Formula to calculate BMI
