What is a BMI Test?

Before we can say anything about obesity we need some form of measurement to determine who is and who isn't obese. For these purposes the accepted standard is what is known as the BMI (Body mass index). It is used to measure the level of obesity in an individual.

Unfortunately you are considered overweight, based on the height and weight entered. This is a good time to get a check up with your GP and think about changing your diet and exercise routine.

Obese 30.0

As you are considered medically obese, it may be time to visit your GP for a medical check up. If you have tried with limited success with diet and exercise, your GP will be able to tell you if you may need prescription weight loss medication.

How is your BMI calculated?

BMI (Body Mass Index), is a number calculated by taking your height in metres (for example 5" 6' is 1.67 metres) then multiplying it by itself to get metres squared (1.67 x 1.67 = 2.81 M2). Then take your weight in kilograms (say 72Kg) and divide it by your height squared figure, (72Kg / 2.81 M2 = BMI = 25.6) (BMI = weight in kg divided by height in M2).

How can I reduce my BMI?

The best way to reduce your weight and BMI is to have a healthy balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and take part in regular exercise.
