BODY
MASS
INDEX
Body mass index
 is a value derived from the mass and height of a
person. The BMI is defined as the body mass
divided by the square of the body height, and is
expressed in units of kg/m², resulting from mass
in kilograms and height in metres. Wikipedia
 BODY MASS INDEX

- is an inexpensive and easy screening

method for weight category—underweight,
healthy weight, overweight, and obesity.
BMI does not measure body fat directly,
but BMI is moderately correlated with more
direct measures of body fat. Furthermore,
BMI appears to be as strongly correlated
with various metabolic and disease
outcome as are these more direct
measures of body fatness .
How is BMI
calculated?
BMI is calculated the same way for
both adults and children. The
calculation is based on the
following formulas:
BMI Interpretation
For adults 20 years old and
older, BMI is interpreted using
standard weight status
categories. These categories are
the same for men and women of
all body types and ages.
 BODY MASS
INDEX Weight Status
Below 18.5 Underweight

18.5 – 24.9 Healthy Weight

25.0 – 29.9 Overweight

30.0 and Above Obesity

For example, here are the
weight ranges, the
corresponding BMI ranges,
and the weight status
categories for a person who
is.
Height Weight Range BMI Weight Status

5′ 9″ 124 lbs or less Below 18.5 Underweight

125 lbs to 168 lbs 18.5 to 24.9 Healthy Weight

169 lbs to 202 lbs 25.0 to 29.9 Overweight

203 lbs or more 30 or higher Obesity

MAXIMUM
HEART
RATE
 which refers to the
fastest rate at which
your heart will beat in
one minute.
Factors That Affect MHR
Age: Your MHR can decline as you age.
Altitude: Altitude can lower your MHR.
Fitness: MHR has nothing to do with how
physically fit you are.
Genes: Your MHR is influenced by your
genes.1
Individual differences: MHR can vary
significantly even among people of the same
age and sex.
Size: MHR is usually higher in smaller people,
which is why women often have a higher MHR
than men.
Working out: Training doesn't really change
your MHR, but if there is any change, it may
get lower as your body experiences expanded
blood and heart volumes.
 Measuring MHR
There are many formulas for calculating your maximum heart rate,
however, the most studied are the following:
 Fox formula (most common formula for men and women): 220 - age
 Gulati formula (women only): 206 - (0.88 × age)2
 The HUNT formula (men and women who are active): 211 - (0.64 x age)
 Tanaka formula (men and women over age 40): 208 - (0.7 × age)
 Ideal body weight
 is the optimal weight
associated with maximum
life expectancy for a given
height.
