The next two questions refer to this situation:
Assume a woman with a singleton pregnancy weighed 154 pounds prior to pregnancy and is 5′7″ tall.
8. _____ What was her prepregnancy BMI?
- a. 24.1 kg/m2
- b. 33.2 kg/m2
- c. 19.7 kg/m2
- d. 45 kg/m2
Introduction:
Body mass index is based on a person’s weight with respect to his/her height. It is an indicator of obesity in an individual. An increased BMI is a characteristic of an overweight individual, and decreased BMI is associated with underweight. 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 is considered as a normal BMI.
Reasons for the correct answer:
Body mass index is calculated by dividing the weight of the person (in kilograms) by the square of height (in meters).
The BMI is calculated as follows:
