Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated using the formula:
This measurement helps assess whether a person is
underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on their body mass relative to height. The standard BMI categories are:
·
Underweight: BMI < 18.5
·
Normal weight: 18.5 – 24.9
·
Overweight: 25 – 29.9
·
Obese: BMI ≥ 30
Explanation of each option:
·
(a) Weight (kg) × Height (m)² –
Incorrect. This formula does not correctly define BMI.
·
(b) Height (m)² / Weight (kg) –
Incorrect. This is the inverse of the correct formula.
·
(c) Weight (kg) / Height (m)² –
Correct. This is the
standard BMI formula used worldwide.
·
(d) Weight (lb) + Height (m)² –
Incorrect. BMI is
not calculated by adding weight and height.
Thus, the correct answer is
(c) Weight (kg) / Height (m)², as it correctly defines the
BMI calculation formula.
