Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI =
weight ( Kg )
2

height (m )
=
weight (lb)

height (inch )
×703
BMI Prime = BMI / 25
For example: weight = 168 lb; height = 5'7”
168
BMI = 2 ×703≃26
BMI Prime = 26 / 25 = 1.04

The BMI categoris vary over age, region, and ethnicity. The WHO categories are:
Category

Severely underweight
Underweight
Normal (healthy weight)

BMI range – kg/m2
less than 15
from 15.0 to 16.0
from 16.0 to 18.5
from 18.5 to 25
from 25 to 30
from 30 to 35
from 35 to 40
over 40
BMI Prime
less than 0.60
from 0.60 to 0.64
from 0.64 to 0.74
from 0.74 to 1.0
from 1.0 to 1.2
from 1.2 to 1.4
from 1.4 to 1.6
over 1.6
Cholesterol
Total cholesterol (mg/dl) = LDL + HDL + triglyercide / 5, should be < 200
LDL: low-density lipoprotein (the bad cholesterol), should be < 150
HDL: high-density lipoprotein (the good cholesterol)
Cholesterol ratio = LDL / HDL, should be < 5 (optimal 3.5)
