Converting Percentages To Odds
There is no single number that can adequately summarise the health of a person. In the same way that there are different measures of blood pressure, there are also different ways to indicate how “correct” a person's weight is, or how well a person adheres to the “correct” diet. This article explains what some of the measures are, what they mean, and what are the limitations of their use.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
This is a the most common measure of weight. It is defined as a person's weight (in kilograms), divided by his height (in metres) squared. It is often stated that the Body Mass Index, or BMI, should be in the range 18 to 25. For many people, this is a good general rule.
Example: Tiger Woods is 6 feet and 1 inch tall, and he weighs 185 pounds. Converted to metric, he is 184 cm (1.84 metres) tall, and weighs 84 kg.
