It was a formula created by Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet. It takes your weight (sorry my fellow Americans, everyone else is on the metric system) in kilograms divides and divides it by height in meters squared. And from this you get a number that represent your total body mass relative to your height and weight. The ranges go from underweight to obese, and one decimal point can tip you in either direction. BMI has been used to study obesity in large populations, and for the most part it\u2019s okay for those types of studies. However, when individual health is the topic at hand, using the body mass index can make judging a person\u2019s health a little bit trickier.<\/p>\n<p>See the state of obesity in your area:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/stateofobesity.org\/adult-obesity\/<\/p>\n<p>CDC\u2019s BMI considerations for practitioners:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/obesity\/downloads\/bmiforpactitioners.pdf<\/p>\n<p>And to check Marshawn Lynchs stats visit:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Lwyhf57WRk\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playerprofiler.com\/nfl\/marshawn-lynch\/\">Marshawn Lynch<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Marshawn Lynch&#8221; &#8212; PlayerProfiler\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playerprofiler.com\/nfl\/marshawn-lynch\/embed\/#?secret=uX3UDffHwh#?secret=Lwyhf57WRk\" data-secret=\"Lwyhf57WRk\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.nfl.com\/player\/marshawnlynch\/2495663\/combine<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our channel! http:\/\/goo.gl\/0bsAjO<\/p>\n<p>Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what&#8217;s really driving the events in the headlines.
