The BMI or Body Mass Index is a screening tool to calculated by putting your body’s height and you weight into relation and is commonly accepted as a better method in comparison to the formula which were used previously:


* The Normal Weight Formula > Body height - 100
* The Ideal Weight Formula > Normal weight * 0.9 for male adults, times 0.9 once more for female adults


The Body Mass Index is calculated by dividing the body weight in kilograms by the body height squared in meters.
