Body mass index Calculator & table

Your body-mass index ("BMI") measures your height/weight ratio. It is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of

your height in meters. An individual’s risk for developing certain diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, elevated

cholesterol, and high blood pressure, is higher for indexes of 25 and above.  Higher values also have an impact on life

expectancy and quality of life issues.
