To determine your BMI (body mass index):
- Find your height on the side (in metres on the left and in feet on the right) and draw a horizontal line across the chart.
- Find your weight (in kilograms across the bottom of in pounds across the top) and draw a vertical line across the chart.
- The shaded area where the 2 lines meet is your BMI.
Health Canada provides an online BMI calculator.
Or calculate your BMI directly: BMI = |
your weight (kg)
your height (m) x your height (m) |
