A BMI for a 5'10 male is weighing 185lbs is 36.1. How would you categorize this male according to the BMI weight status table?

Answer 1

Height (h) = 5'10 = 1.524m

Mass (m) = 185 lbs = 83.915 kg

The formula for BMI is given by:

BMI = m/h²

BMI = 83.915/1.524² = 36.1301417047

BMI = 36.1 (1 decimal place)

This person is therefore obese
