BODY MASS INDEX APPLICATION

Abstract

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height. BMI is a measurement of body weight based on height and weight. Although BMI does not actually "measure" the percentage of body fat, it is a useful tool to estimate a healthy body weight based on height. Due to its ease of measurement and calculation, it is the most widely used diagnostic indicator to identify a person's optimal weight depending on his height. BMI "number" will inform someone if they were underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. However, due to the wide variety of body types, the distribution of muscle and bone mass, etc., it is not appropriate to use this as the only or final indication for diagnosis. Ideal Weight Application (IWa) is a BMI Application which can make someone to know their body fat easier. IW Apps is application based on Adobe Flash which can run in Perconal Computer. The purpose of this application is to help someone being success in their diet program.
