For example, an individual who weighs 58 kg and who height is 162 cm has a BMI of approximately 22

Example 1 : Your client is 185 cm tall and weighs 60 kg. Calculation:185cm/100 = 1.85 m x 1.85 m = 3.42m 2 BMI = 60 kg = 17.5 kg/m m 2 Client is underweight and probably nutrient deficient. Counsel the client to increase energy and protein intake to gain weight and help client manage nutrition related symptoms.

Example 2: Your client is 150cm tall and weighs 60 kg Calculation: 150cm/100 = 1.50m x 1.50m =2.25m 2 BMI = 60kg = 26.7kg/m m 2 Your client is overweight.

Example 3: Your client is 165cm tall and weighs 60kg. Calculation : 165cm/100 = 1.65m x 1.65m =2.72m 2 BMI = 60kg kg/m m 2 Your client has normal weight.
