Body Mass Index Survey
I asked staff if they would volunteer to assist me in doing a survey for the Body Mass Index with in the company
To carry out this survey I asked to weigh the individuals and to also measure their height so that I could calculate each of their Body Mass index.
The way to work out your own Body Mass Index is to * Divide your weight in kilograms (kg) by your height in meters (m) * Then divide your answer by your height again, your final answer is your Body Mass Index
For this exercise I had 9 male volunteers and 11 female volunteers ranging from the age of 24 to 50
There are 5 different categories that the volunteers could go in * Under Weight = is a term describing a human whose body weight is considered too low to be healthy. The definition usually refers to people with a Body Mass Index(BMI) of under 18.5
* Healthy Weight = is a term describing a human whose body weight is considered to be healthy. The definition usually refers to people with a Body Mass Index(BMI) of 18.5 to 25
* Over Weight = is a term describing a human whose body weight is considered to be over weight. The definition usually refers to people with a Body Mass Index(BMI) of 25 to 30
* Obese = is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. The definition usually refers to people with a Body Mass Index(BMI) of 30 to 40
* Morbidly Obese = is defined as being 100 pounds over weight. The definition usually refers to people with a Body Mass Index(BMI) of over 40
My findings are as follows
