What is BMI?
Obesity is most often measured by using a mathematical formula called a Body Mass
Index. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight
that applies to both adult men and women. BMI can be determined by dividing your
weight in pounds by your height in inches squared and then multiplying by 705. For
example, a women who is 5'6" and weighs 190 would have a BMI of 31.
