Activity 2. Calculate BMI index

 

The task is to calculate your BMI index, assess your weight status and predict your health risk. You will work with the same table and BMI calculator from Activity 1.

1.  Calculate your BMI using the calculator. Enter only numbers as follows:

  • In box C12, enter your weight – in kilograms
  • In box C14 enter your height – in centimetres

2.  In cell C16 appears the result of your BMI test. Record this result in the “BMI test results” table in the BMI result column.

3.  Then fill in the “Weight Status” column, giving you a choice of several options. These options appear after you go to the cell in the “Weight Status” column opposite your name. To the right of the cell, an arrow button (drop-down menu) appears that allows us to choose between four options for our weight status. To select the correct option, you need to use the “Values” table and decide which category you fall into according to your BMI score.

4.  In the same way, fill in the “Health risk” column.
