 ABSTRACT

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

A key index for relating weight to height. Abbreviated BMI. BMI is a person's weight in
kilograms (kg) divided by his or her height in meters squared. The National Institutes of Health
(NIH) now defines normal weight, overweight, and obesity according to BMI rather than the
traditional height/weight charts. Overweight is a BMI of 27.3 or more for women and 27.8 or
more for men. Obesity is a BMI of 30 or more for either sex (about 30 pounds overweight). A
very muscular person might have a high BMI without health risks.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

In our existing system bmi calculation is done manually and takes some time. It is okay if we are
doing it for first time , but we need a computerized system for a frequent use.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

The BMI is an attempt to quantify the amount of tissue mass (muscle, fat, and bone) in an
individual, and then categorize that person as under weight, normal weight, overweight,
or obese based on that value. However, there is some debate about where on the BMI scale the
dividing lines between categories should be placed. Commonly accepted BMI ranges are
underweight: under 18.5 kg/m2, normal weight: 18.5 to 25, overweight: 25 to 30, obese: over 30.
People of Asian descent have different associations between BMI, percentage of body fat, and
health risks than those of European descent, with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and
cardiovascular disease at BMIs lower than the WHO cut-off point for overweight, 25 kg/m2,
although the cutoff for observed risk varies among different Asian populations.
