BMI

Body Mass Index uses your height and your weight to work out a number which is your ‘BMI’. Note there’s no ‘ideal’ weight you ‘ought’ to be; instead, there is a range of weights in each category.

(The formula for BMI is your weight divided by your height squared - both using the metric system.)
