OBESITY AWARENESS PROGRAM

The nine Rotary Districts within Mexico have launched a joint project to promote awareness of the health problems related to obesity. At the time this page was developed, the goals, methods and parameters of this program had not yet been published.

The following table is supplied to show you the weight that is considered "normal", "over-weight", and "obese" for a given height. "Normal" corresponds to a Body Mass Index ("BMI") of 25 or less, "over-weight" to a BMI greater than 25 and less than 30, while "Obese" is defined as a BMI of 30 or greater.

BMI= (weight in Kilograms) / [(height in meters) x (height in meters)]
BMI= [(Weight in Pounds) x 704.54] / [(height in inches) x (height in inches)]
