Index your body- assess your risk

In these times of extreme health awareness, it becomes imperative for everyone to be aware of his/her body condition.

Body mass index (BMI) is a screening tool used to measure weight relative to height. While BMI does not measure body fat directly, it has been shown to correlate to measures of body fat, & is considered an accurate alternative for body fat measurement.

BMI is a gross estimate for the amount of fat in your body. It tells you whether you need to lose weight or not.
