B.M.

I
BODY-MASS-INDEX
GROUP 4
• Briefly introduce the topic of
BMI.
• State the importance of
CONTENTS: understanding BMI for assessing
one's health.
• Mention the objectives of the
presentation.
WHAT IS B.M.I?

• According to the Centers for


Disease Control and
Prevention (2022), Body Mass
Index refers to the individual’s
weight in kilograms divided by
the square of height in meters
(or feet).
According to the Canadian Diabetes Association (2022)

“BMI can indicate high body fatness. BMI = kg/m2, where kg is a person's
weight in kilograms and m2 is their height in meters squared. A BMI of 25.0 or
more is overweight, while the healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9. BMI applies to
most adults 18-65 years.”

MASS-INDEX

• Health Assessment: BMI is a useful tool for


quickly assessing whether an individual's
weight is within a healthy range relative to their
height. It can help identify potential health risks
associated with being underweight, overweight,
or obese.

• Health Risk Identification: Different BMI


categories are associated with varying degrees
of health risks. For example, individuals with a
high BMI (obese category) are at a greater risk
of developing conditions like heart disease,
type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and
certain types of cancer.
IMPORTANCE OF BODY-MASS-INDEX

• Research and Statistics: BMI is a valuable metric in medical research, epidemiology,


and clinical studies. It provides a standardized way to categorize individuals based on
their weight, allowing for comparisons across different populations and over time.

• Weight Management: For individuals, BMI can serve as a starting point for weight
management and setting health goals. It can help individuals and healthcare
professionals track progress when working to achieve a healthier weight.
FORMULAS FOR BMI:

For metric system (kilograms and meters)

BMI = height/weight
Or
BMI = h/w

For Imperial system (pounds and inches)

BMI = height/weight​times 703


Or​
BMI = h/w * 703
Example: The height of a person who is 5’3" and weighs 125 lbs. is calculated as follows:

Note: this is an example of the metric system method

• a. Divide the weight in pounds by 2.2 to determine the weight in kilograms. (125 ÷ 2.2 = 56.82
kg.)

• b. Multiply the height in inches by 0.025 to determine the height in meters. (63 × 0.025 = 1.575
m.)

• c. Square the height in meters. (1.575 X 1.575 = 2.480625 m2)

• d. Divide the weight in kilograms by the height in meters squared. (56.82/2.480625 =


22.90551776266062 or 22.91 or 23)
