Medical Conditions - Body Mass Index

Body Mass Index (BMI) is the measure of an individual's body mass, which is calculated by dividing the weight of a person in kilogram to the square of the person's height in meters (kg/m2). It is used to quantify the tissue mass in an individual, and then categorizing them as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

Is 140 pounds an ideal weight for my height?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The best way to know if you are overweight is to find your height in square meters (150 centimeters = 1.5 meters ). Divide your weight by your height in square meters.
