Answer:

The answer is BMI. This index has ranges that help indicate whether one is underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese. To calculate BMI, the following formulae are used;

Weight (kg)/height (m) ^ 2

To check your BMI Categories:

Underweight = <18.5

Normal weight = 18.5–24.9

Overweight = 25–29.9

Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

hope this helps :)
