Body mass index (BMI)
With the measurement of the BMI it is evaluated if our body weight is appropriate. A BMI check will quickly provide you with information about the ratio between your height and weight. Together with the checklist, this information will serve as the basis for a medical consultation and to find out if your food intake meets your needs.
