![]() The body mass index (BMI) is the most commonly used method to measure obesity. It's easy to calculate your BMI using your weight and height on the table below. The closer your weight is to the normal range on the table, the less likely you are to suffer from weight-related problems. If you are in the overweight or obese range on the BMI table, talk to your doctor about ways to improve your health by losing weight. |
