BMI stands for body mass index and is the ratio of your weight in
kilograms divided by your height in meters squared. BMI is a relatively
accurate way to determine if a person's weight poses a serious health
risk. Please note, however, that the BMI calculator does not take
into account muscle mass and should only be used by full-grown adults
ages 20 to 65.
A BMI in the range of 19 to 25 is considered to be ideal. If your
BMI signifies that you are Morbidly Obese (BMI of 40 or more) or
Severely Obese (BMI of 35 to 39) with severe weight-related co-morbid
conditions, then you might be candidate for bariatric surgery.
