What is Body Mass Index ?
Body Mass Index ( BMI ) is a method to estimate your weight status by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters.
-----> BMI = Kg/m^2
If BMI of a person is more than 25 then he is considered overweight.
If BMI is less than 18.5 then the person is undernourished.
Calculating Rohan's BMI :-
weight= 70 kg
height = 1.4 m
square of height = 1.96 m
Rohan's BMI = 70/1.96 = 15.3
Therefore Rohan is undernourished because his BMI is less than 18.5.
