height in meters.
i.e. BMI = kg/m2
Where kg is the subject weight in kgs and 'm' is the subject height in meters
• BMI less then 18.5 is under weight
• BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is normal weight
• BMI of 25 to 29.5 is over weight
• BMI of 30 and above is obese
Thus BMI equal to or more than 30 is defined as a condition of obesity.

globally and currently they are more than 400 millions.
