BMI (Body Mass Index) Measurement
BMI is a useful tool that shows the relationship between weight and height that is associated with body fat and health risk. The table below gives a general rating and BMI score:
| BMI |
Underweight | Below 18.5 |
Normal | 18.5 – 24.9 |
Overweight | 25.0 – 29.9 |
Obesity | 30.0 and above |
There are limitations however. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and oth- ers who have a muscular build. It may also underestimate body fat in older per- sons and others who have lost muscle mass.
When choosing the BMI program you will be prompted to enter your height and weight and the computer will calculate and display your Body Mass Index. The console will display “IDEAL BMI RANGE”. The ideal or normal range is 18.5
– 24.9. The console will also display your ideal weight range for your height.
