Let's talk about BMI again!
-
sbst asked, and here it is - Singapore's revised BMI! (BMI = Body Mass Index).
27.5 and above - High Risk
23 & 27.4 - Moderate Risk
18.5 & 22.9 - Low Risk (healthy range)
Below 18.5 - Risk of nutritional deficiency diseases and osteoporosis
The formula for calculating BMI is :
Your weight in kgs / (Your height in m X Your height in m) -
i'm probably about 493

I weigh 67kg, my ht is 1.78m
So.. It is 21.14 -
I weigh 63kg, and I'm 1.7m.
My BMI is 21.8.
I'm pretty big-boned... most people think I'm sub-60kg. Personally, I prefer to be around 61-62 kg. Don't ask me why.... I just like the sound of it.
Oh well, the fasting month's coming up soon anyway. -
