What is the formula for calculating body mass index?

Body mass index = weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m). For example, a person's height is 1.75m and his weight is 68kg, and his body mass index = 68/(1.75 *1.75) = 22.2. The normal body mass index of adults in China should be between 18.5-23.9. If it is less than 18.5, it is a reduction; If it is greater than or equal to 24, it is overweight; If it is greater than or equal to 28, it is obesity.

This body mass index is applicable to all people aged 18 to 65, except children, developing teenagers, pregnant women, nursing mothers, the elderly and muscular people. This formula can judge the health status of human body.

Exercise in life must be gradual, the intensity should be small at first, and then increase the intensity after the body gradually adapts.

Step 2 control your diet

It is also important for overweight people to control their diet. Give up high-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar foods in life and have a light diet.
