What is a healthy BMI?

Body Mass Index.
Please watch the video and answer the following questions.
Note this video is from the United States so they'll talk about the height of a person in feet, not in meters. So in the U.S.A. my height is 5'11 (five feet, eleven inches), but in Brazil I would just say my height is 178cm.
 
 
Questions:
1-      The ideal weight depends on many factors. List some of these factors.
2-      What does BMI stand for?
3-      What is the math formula to find the BMI of a person?
4-      What BMI range is considered underweight?
5-      What BMI range is considered a healthy weight. 
6-      What BMI range is considered overweight?
7-      What BMI range is considered obese?
8-      What are some health risks that come with obesity? In other words, obesity can lead to what health problems?
9-      What is the BMI of a person that is 60 inches tall, and weighs 170 pounds? Is this person underweight, healthy, overweight or obese?
10-  What is your BMI? Remember to use inches for your height and pounds for your weight.

 
Next week we'll discuss these questions and have a quiz :)
