Calculating Body Weight

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number used to determine if people are at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese. To calculate the BMI, CoverTN uses the following formula:

BMI  =   ___________Weight in Pounds___________    X   703

                     (height in inches) X (height in inches)

 

BMI of 30 and Under = Target Weight

BMI Over 30 = Above Target Weight
