Yes. To determine your BMI (Body Mass Index), simply divide your weight value (given in kilograms) by the square of your height value (given in metres). The BMI classification has been developed for adults. The weight-to-height ratio of children cannot be determined according to this scale.
The BMI body mass index should not only be monitored because of (a spectrum of) disease, such as type II diabetes, atherosclerosis or the risk of heart attack. Prevention is equally important both during weight loss treatment and on a daily basis.
