The
body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a statistical
measurement which compares a person's weight and height. Though
it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it
is a useful tool to estimate a healthy body weight based on
how tall a person is. Due to its ease of measurement and calculation,
it is the most widely used diagnostic tool to identify obesity
problems within a population. However it is not considered
appropriate to use as a final indication for diagnosing individuals.It
was invented between 1830 and 1850 by the Belgian polymath
Adolphe Quetelet during the course of developing "social
physics".
Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight
divided by the square of their height.

For me, I had
weight problems while everyone else only had weight issues. Does
that sound familiar? The US Surgeon General's 2001 Report showed
that almost 65% of us in the US are overweight or obese. Yes, all
of us have tried the magic pills, magic lotions, magic exercise
equipment and magic diets over the years to lose weight. However,
for us nothing has been successful to take the weight off and keep
it off. That is until I developed
WellnessPro® for
losing weight.
It worked for me. It also will work for you.
