How to measure obesity

By Taher Dabbour

1.Guide to body mass

The best ways to determine whether the weight is normal or not is evidence of a so-called Body Mass Index or BMI, according to the following equation:

BMI = weight (in Kilograms) ÷ height (square meters)

So you have to worry about yourself

An example for calculating the BMI using the equation (weight Kg / height m²)
-Suppose that the weight is 98Kg and the height is 172cm , the results will be:
-Converting height from cm into m = 172cm / 100 = 1.72m
-Converting height from meters into square meters = 1.72 × 1.72 = 2.96 m²

-So BMI = 98 Kg / 2.96 = 33
This indicates that the person is obese.
=There are some exceptions to the use of the equation of body mass, for example:
-Children in the process of growth
-Pregnant women
-Athletic persons
