Frequently Asked Questions on Daily Living

What is BMI?

BMI means body mass index. It is a statistical measure of the weight of a person scaled according to height. BMI is frequently used to assess what the ideal weight for a particular person should be and how much he needs to lose or gain in order to have a perfectly fit body.

How can someone's BMI be calculated?

A person's BMI can be calculated by dividing an individual's body weight divided by the square of his height. There are BMI calculators available which can help a person calculate it in a few simple steps.

How to judge what my BMI says about my body?

There is a chart that will give you an approximate idea of what your BMI says about your body. If your BMI is less than 18.5, then you are underweight; if it is between 18.5 and 24.9, then you are normal weight; if it is between 25 and 29.9, then you are overweight and if your BMI is 30 or more than it means you are obese. This is an approximate chart.
