What's your BMI?

BMI measures your weight/height ratio. It is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters. For instance, if your height is 1.82 meters, the divisor of the calculation will be (1.82 * 1.82) = 3.3124. If you weigh 70.5 kilograms, then your BMI is 21.3 (70.5 / 3.3124).

The BMI assessment tool is not intended to be used for those under 18 or those over 65 years of age, pregnant and lactating women, and highly muscular individuals. BMI is only one tool and it is not perfect for all.

If you are concerned about your BMI results and need some personal advice, contact a patient coordinator
