    Body Mass Index

    Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

    BMI Weight Status
    Below 18.5 Underweight
    18.5 – 24.9 Normal
    25.0 – 29.9 Overweight
    30.0 and Above Obese
     

    BMI calculation

    Formula for kilograms & meters :                  weight (kg)/[height (m)]2             

    with the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared. Since height is commonly measured in centimeters, divide height in centimeters by hundred to obtain height in meters

    Example:

    Height = 165 cm (1.65 m), Weight=68 kg
    Calculation: 68 ÷ (1.65)2 = 24.98

     
    Formula For pounds & inches:                                                                   weight (lb) / [height (in)]2 x703                                                  Calculation: [weight (lb) / height (in) / height (in)] x 703                                            Calculate BMI by dividing weight in pounds (lbs) by height in inches (in) squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703

    Example: Weight = 150 lbs, Height = 5’5” (65")
    Calculation: [150 ÷ (65)2] x 703 = 24.96

     

    Treatment for controlling obesity

    A huge number of people undergo some form of treatment to attempt to reduce their weight, usually either in an attempt to improve their health, to improve their lifestyle, or for cosmetic reasons.

    Diet Alternation: The generally recommended treatment for being overweight is a modified and controlled diet. In this case avoid taking junk food, spicy food, sweets, cold drinks, ice creams and sodas.

    Exercise: It is a must part of the all weight management theories. Regular physical activity is critical for the prevention of abnormal weight gain and weight maintenance. The current recommendation for the amount of physical activity is 30 to 60 minutes of regular exercise daily. Yoga is definitely is 100 % sure technique.

    Studies suggest that reducing calorie intake by itself (dieting) may have short-term effects but does not lead to long-term weight loss, and can often result in gaining back all of the lost weight and more in the longer term. For this reason, it is generally recommended that weight-loss diets not be attempted on their own but instead in combination with increased exercise and long-term planning and weight management.

    The health benefits of weight loss are also somewhat unclear. While it is generally accepted that for significantly obese patients, losing weight can reduce health risks and improve quality of life, there is some evidence to suggest that for merely overweight patients, the health effects of attempting to lose weight may actually be more detrimental than simply remaining overweight.
