Answer to Question 1

The body mass index (BMI) is a numerical calculation that reflects the relationship
between a person's height and weight. This calculation can indicate
if the person's weight is in a healthy range. Statistically, individuals who have
high BMI values are at increased risk of what are generally referred to as the
chronic diseases. These diseases include obesity, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular
disease (including high blood pressure, or hypertension), stroke,
and coronary heart disease.

Answer to Question 2
