● Body mass index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass (weight) 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.
● Ideal Body Weight (IBW) is useful for comparing a person’s current (actual) weight against a recommended weight based on height. IBW (kg) = (height in meters)2 x 22. In addition, a 10% plus/minus provision is also included to allow for variations in frame size providing a weight range for good health.
