Its BMI computer calculates BMI (Body Mass Index) with decimal accuracy. Body Mass Index is an established system to judge people obesity. According to the most popular scheme: You are SLIM if your BMI is below 20. You are the in the ideal weight range if between 20 and 25. You are slightly overweight between 25 and 30. You are Overweight if over 30. Increased body mass index (BMI: kg/m2) is associated with increased risks of CHD (Coronary Heart disease). Compared with lean men, men with BMI of 25-29 have been observed to have a 70% greater risk of CHD whereas men with BMI of 29-33 had almost a 3 fold greater risk of CHD.
