The numbers apply
to both men and women, but they are not foolproof. Some very
muscular people may have a high BMI without health risks. A
waist size that is larger then 40 inches for men and 35 inches
for women means an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes
and other health conditions no matter what your BMI.

To calculate BMI using
metric measurements simply requires the following formula.
BMI = weight in kg divided by (height X height)
For example a person weighs 58 kg and is 1.77 m tall.
BMI = 58 divided by (1.77 X 1.77) BMI = 18.7 This individual is
in their proper weight range
