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 |
