BMI = Weight in pounds divided by (heigth in incheses X height in inches) times 703.
For example a person who weighs 220 pounds and is 6 feet 3 inches tall has a Body Mass Indes of 27.5.
220 divided by (75 X 75) = 3.91 X 703 = 27.5
Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat or body mass index of 30 or above.
I gotta find a way to get taller....(much taller)
Thanks,

Ok, I'm saying that only because my BMI is 19! ;;)
Fortunately I am tall ... that helps the equation for sure!x;-)
