Calculate Your Body Mass Index

The following chart, which was put together by researchers and later posted
in USA Weekend, will calculate your BODY MASS INDEX. The shaded areas also 
indicate how much you are at risk of having health problems because of your weight. 

Find your height on the left hand side of the chart. Follow along on that row 
until you find your weight (at top of chart). The number in the box at the 
intersection point is your Body Mass Index (BMI). Scientists have determined 
that appreciable health risks begin at a BMI of 25. 

The color range you fall in also indicates your level of risk of having health 
problems: 

          YELLOW: (BMI 24 or less) - Minimal health risk 
          ORANGE: (BMI 25 to 29) - Low to moderate health risk 
          RED: (BMI 30 or more) - HIGH health risk 

If you are in the red zone, you're health is severly at risk.
