bmi chart

Most adults have seen information about Body Mass Index charts in the news, in their doctors’ offices, or when doing a health insurance screening.

The BMI chart gives you your BMI, which is a number that comes from using a calculation based on a person's weight and height. BMI is a good indicator of body "fatness" even though it doesn't measure it directly (as gyms and physicians do with body fat assessment tools). Finding out your BMI is an excellent method of screening for possible weight issues that can cause health problems.
