Research on Students' BMI

Assalamuaaliakum Readers,

We are here to post on SMLK students' Body Mass Index (BMI). For your information, BMI is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems. The following is the BMI scale that we referred to:

As we realise that some students of our school are unfit, therefore, we decided to interview a number of our peers from all levels. We interviewed 30 random students from every level. As a result, we managed to interview 150 students altogether. We started doing our research on the 1st October 2011.


From the data we collected, we found the following results.

48% of the students are in Underweight category, 26% of students are in Normal category, and the most worrying stages which are 'Obese' and 'Very Obese' are 9% and 5% respectively.

Here are some pictures of students that we interviewed in our research.
