BMI Calculation

HEALTH

I've just done a check up. Blood pressure is 138/88 85. A bit high. Healthy would be 120/80 75. So that would be something to look for. BMI is 26.9. Normal would be 25 or less. I do pack in some muscles. As it is, I am currently 8 lbs overweight. Not too bad, but can use improving also.

The BMI calculation is as follows:
weight(kg)/(height(m)^2)
or
703*weight(lbs)/(height(inches)^2)

Less than 18.5 Underweight
Less than 25 Normal
Less than 30 Overweight
30 or more Obese
