About the IMC

Body mass index (IMC) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. The index is calculated by the formula:

imc = weight / (height * height)

The condition used to classify the index was accordingly to NHANES II (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey). The following criteria was used:

Condition Men Index Women Index
below weight <20.7 <19.1
normal weight 20.7 - 26.4 19.1 - 25.8
slight overweight 26.5 - 27.8 25.9 - 27.3
overweight 27.9 - 31.1 27.4 - 32.3
obesity >31.2 > 32.4
