The Body Mass Index (BMI) is currently the best and most convenient measure of its severity and therefore of the risk to health.

You can work out your own BMI using this calculation:

Measure your height in metres and multiply the number by itself.
Measure your weight in kilograms.
Divide your weight by the answer you got in step 1. The number you are left with is your BMI.

An ideal BMI for most people is between 20 and 25.
