The United States is becoming more health-conscious, and as a result, the problem of obesity has gotten more attention. The body mass index (BMI) relates a person’s height and weight, and it is often used to determine if someone is overweight. The following table tells the weight status for a given BMI.
BMI Weight Status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5–24.9 Normal
24.9–29.9 Overweight
29.9 and above Obese
The BMI is calculated using the following formula:

Quetelet was trying to determine the “average” person’s weight relative to his or her height. His “Quetelet index” (later known as the BMI) was developed using height and weight data of Europeans in the early 1800s. Do you think that BMI is a fair indication of a person’s weight classification today? Why or why not?
