Vancouver, Canada - February 28, 2006 - According to USDA\'s Economic Research Service analysis, many Americans misidentify their weight category. Forty-one percent of adults, whom dietitians would classify as overweight, did not recognize themselves to be overweight. Among those adults whom dietitians would classify as obese, thirteen percent believed that their weight was about right or even too low. Taking this fact into consideration, Actabit Healthware has released a new software program, BMI Calculator. It automatically calculates Body Mass Index, which reveals if a person is underweight, normal, overweight or obese.
BMI Calculator runs on Windows XP, 2000, ME, NT, 98. Users can choose English or Metric system. Then they enter their height and weight into BMI Calculator and click the Calculate button. At once the program calculates the figure that shows the proportion of their weight to height. BMI Calculator is designed for adults aged twenty years and above.
BMI Calculator is very easy-to-use. It helps users control their weight. BMI higher than 25 predicts the risk for obesity-related diseases. In this case, BMI Calculator encourages the person to adhere to healthy dietary and lifestyle habits.
