According to BMI, this patient is diagnosed as Obese.

Explanation:

BMI known as body mass index is taken from a person height and weight. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. BMI is usually expressed in kg/m².

Mathematically ,

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)

we have to convert the weight and the height to the required units.

converting pounds to kg

2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram

210 pounds = ?

cross multiply

210/2.2 = 95.50 kilograms

converting foot to inches and to meter.

1 foot = 12 inches

5 foot = ?

12 × 5 = 60 inches

60 inches + 9 inches = 69 inches

1 inches = 0.0254 meters

69 inches = ?

69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526  meters

using the formula

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)

BMI = 95.50/(1.75)²

BMI = 95.50/3.0625   kg/m²

BMI = 31.1836734694  kg/m²

BMI = 31.18 kg/m²
