Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated using a person’s weight and height. It indicates body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
To quickly calculate your BMI, visit the Centers for Disease Control: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/index.htm
Individuals with a BMI score greater than 30, or with a score greater than 27 combined with medical problems, can be considered for Geisinger’s Weight Management Program.
