BMI Assignment

Body mass index (BMI) is a technique used by scientists to determine levels of thinness, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. BMI incorporates a person's height and weight to estimate health risks associated with different weight ranges. The document includes a BMI chart that lists height in inches along the left side and weight in pounds along the top to identify BMI and corresponding disease risk levels such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese.
