If you'd like to calculate your BMI yourself, follow these three steps.
1.6 x 1.6 = 2.56. BMI would be 65 divided by 2.56 = 25.39.
- Work out your height in metres and multiply the figure by itself
- Measure your weight in kilograms
- Divide the weight by the height squared (the answer to Q1) For example, you might be 1.6m (5ft 3in) tall and weigh 65kg (10st 3lb). The calculation would then be:
1.6 x 1.6 = 2.56. BMI would be 65 divided by 2.56 = 25.39.

The NICE guidelines are just that guidelines for every PCT, however every PCT has a different criteria based on these guidelines. Some will just ask for the minimum NICE guidelines others will set a crieria with a higher BMI and or must have co-morbidities. The IoW on the BOSPA website says NICE guidelines. Its Hampshire on the mainland that state a bmi of 60 or more or 45 with co-morbidities. But you could always phone your local pct and ask them direct.
