Health/Wellness notes:
The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
states that Calculating BMI is one of the best methods for
population assessment of overweight and obesity. It is low-cost
and easy to use for clinicians and the general public. The use
of BMI allows people to compare their own weight status to the
general population. The only information required to calculate a
person's BMI are height, weight, and the BMI formula. To
