What is obesity?
According to WHO, obesity is a disease in which excess body fat accumulated may reach degrees able to affect health.
It is a chronic disease, with enormous prevalence in developed countries, affects men and women of all ethnicities and all ages, reduces the quality of life and has high rates of morbidity and mortality.
Obesity causes many serious health consequences.

How is the diagnosis?
The most widely recommended for assessment of body weight in adults is the BMI (body mass index), including recommended by WHO. This index is calculated by dividing the weight of the patient in kilograms (kg) by your height in metres squared high (square of their height). The figure thus obtained establishes the diagnosis of obesity and also characterised the associated risks.

Your BMI is an objective scientific measure, that uses your height and weight. You can calculate your BMI by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. In other words the algebraic expression for BMI is:BMI = Kg / (m)2

One variable BMI fails to consider is lean body mass. It is possible for a healthy, muscular individual with very low body fat to be classified obese using the BMI formula. If you are a trained athlete, your weight based on your measured percent body fat would be a better indicator of what you should weigh.

This page includes a simple “JavaScript” program to calculate your exact BMI (in metric measurements) and a height vs weight chart that will approximate your BMI (in english measurements).

To use the program enter your height in meters and weight in kilograms, in the boxes below, and then click “Calculate.” For those unfamiliar with the “MKS” system, listed below are relevant unit conversion factors, and an example of english to metric unit conversion.

1 inch = 2.54 cm 1 meter = 100 cm 1 lb = 0.45359237 Kg

For example:

5 feet 8 inches = 5 ft (12 in / ft) + 8 in = 68 inches
68 in (2.54 cm / in) = 172.72 cm
172.72 cm (1 meter / 100 cm) = 1.7272 meters

and

139 lbs (0.45359237 Kg / 1 lb) = 63.0493853 Kg
