Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
BMI = weight (in kg) divided by the the height (in meters) to the power 2. you BMI is therefore 28.5.
The normal BMI ranges between 28.5 and 25 for a healthy adult.
And please do remember: BMI is not the most accurate measure of a healthy weight; fat distribution, as assessed by waist circumference (obtained with a measuring tape around the trunk just below the umbilicus) is an important indicator as it tells you if you have abdominal obesity (fat accumulation in the belly area), which is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
