On calculation of average body mass index, the weight is divided into meter term of height square.
For example: height = 175 weight= 70 kq Indeks = 70 / (1.75)2 = 70 / 3.06 = 22.88
Result received on norms of World Health Organization:
if less than 18 - weight is very less
18-20 - weight is about norm
20 - 27 - normal weight
27 - 30 - adiposis
more than 30 - adiposis is more
