    This document summarizes a student project that measured the body mass index (BMI) of classmates. It defines BMI as a ratio of weight to height used to identify weight problems. The students measured heights and weights of classmates to calculate their BMI and classify them. Most students fell into the "normal" category, while one student was found to be overweight. The project concludes by recommending the overweight student improve their diet for better health.

    BIOLOGY PROJECT

    AIM:
    TO COMPARE THE BMI OF
    DIFFERENT STUDENTS IN OUR
    GROUP HAVING DIFFERENT LIFE
    STYLES
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    I take this opportunity to thank our


    Principal Ma’am, our Teacher In
    charge Ma’am, Teachers and Lab
    Assistants who have guided us
    during the completion of this
    project. Special thanks forwaded to
    my parents for their support and
    also to my group members for their
    co-operation.
    BODY MASS INDEX

    OBJECTIVE -
    To investigate the health of students of a
    class based on Body Mass Index (BMI)

    MATERIALS REQUIRED -
    Weighing Scale, Tape Measure, Pen, Pencil,
    Eraser, A Piece of Paper

    DESCRIPTION -
    We measured the heights and weights of all
    the students of our class group and tried to
    establish the relationship between height and
    weight with the help of Body Mass Index
    What is BMI?
    The full form of BMI is Body Mass Index. It is
    the proportion of one persons weight in Kg
    ( Kilogram) to the square of the person’s height
    in m (Meters). People who have high BMI have
    much more body fat or weight for their height
    and BMI is the most widely used tool to identify
    the weight problem.

    It is a method of measuring through which


    individuals are classified into the following
    categories :
    ●
    Obese
    ●
    Overweight
    ●
    Normal Weight
    ●
    Underweight
    Importance of BMI

    1) In the 1830s, Lambert Adolphe


    Jacques Quetelet, a Belgian
    mathematician, developed the BMI.
    It’s sometimes referred to as the
    Quetelet index.
    2) BMI provides you with an
    approximate overall health calculation
    and the risk of developing chronic
    conditions such as high BP, heart
    disease, type 2 diabetes,
    osteoarthritis, gallstones, and so on.
    3) With no health threat, a highly
    muscular individual can also have a
    high BMI.
    Calculation of BMI

    One must have two parameters to measure the


    BMI: The height of a person in meter and his
    weight in kg. Weight Should be in pounds if the
    height of the person is given in inches.

    The BMI estimation formula is given as -


    BMI = Weight (kg)/Height (m)2

    or
    BMI = Weight (in pounds)/Height (In inches)^2 ✕ 703

    where 703 is a conversion factor

    Now, with the help of the World Health


    Organisation (WHO) criteria for underweight and
    obwesity by BMI, one may come to know whether
    the indivial is under the category of underweight,
    normal weight, overweight or falls in the category
    of obesity.
    Values of BMI
    When we measure BMI using the above-
    mentioned formula, depending on the value we
    obtain BMI can be classified in different categories.

    # If the value of BMI is less than 18.5, then the


    person falls under the underweight category.

    # If the value of BMI is between 18.5 to 24.9, then


    the person falls under the normal category.

    # If the value of BMI is between 25 to 29.9, then


    the person falls under the overweight category.

    # If the value of BMI is between 30 to 34.9, then


    the person falls under the obesity category.

    # If the value of BMI is between 35 to 39.9, then


    the person falls under the severely obese category.

    # If the value of BMI is more than 40, then the


    person falls under the morbid obesity category.

    Datta
    No 1,2,3,4,5 are all healthy individuals
    since all of them lie within the BMI of 18.5
    to 24.5. However, No 6 is Overweight.
    There is no obese or malnutritioned
    individuals among the people measured.
    RESULT
    The health of most of our students fall
    in the category of “Normal” and
    “Overweight”.
    Suggestion : The Overweight Student
    need to take care of their diet to
    improve their health.
    The Project has been made
    with the cumulative efforts of
    the following students :

    1) Debayan Das
    2) Eaman Adeep
    3) Shresthaniska Datta
    4) Soham Mitra
    5) Sohom Mandal
    6) Subhrajit Chaudhuri
