At first let us know what is BMI. BMI is the ratio of body weight in kilograms and square of height in meters. The BMI is universally expressed in kg/m2. We can also calculate the BMI using pound and inches. In that case the ratio must be multiplied by a conversion factor 703 and the unit will be lb/in2.

Generally BMI ranging from 18.5 to 25 kg/m2 indicates the normal weight. BMI lower than 18.5 indicates lower body weight. BMI ranging from 25 to 30 kg/m2 indicates the over weight. 30 or more BMI indicates obese.
