BMI is usually done for measuring weight in relation to height. it is calculated by Adolphe Qutelete formula as: weight in Kg/ Height in meter square.
and it can be graded according to WHO as...
BMI < 18.5 =underweight
18.5-25 = normal (healthy weight)
25-30 = overweight
30-35 = grade I Obese (moderately obese)
35-40 = grade II Obese (severely obese)
>40 = grade III obese ( very severely obese)
Simply BMI is your current weight in (Kg) divided on your squared hieght in (cm).
if the result less than 18.5 you considedred underweight
18.5-24.8 normal
25-29.9 overweight
30-34.9 obese grade 1
35-39.9 obese grade 2
more than 40 morbidly obese
