 WHAT IS BMI?
• It is a measure of body fat based on your

total body fat increases.
BMI (BODY MASS INDEX)
 HOW TO CALCULATE BMI
•Example:
For an adult with height of 180 cm and
weight of 75 kg. First step is to convert the height
into meters. As there are 100cm in a meter, we
divided our figure by 100. this gives us 1.8cm.
BMI= 75
BMI= 75
BMI= 23.15
