| Description: | Number of First Nations regular clients aged 18 and over who had their body mass index (BMI) classified as:
within the previous 24 months. |

| Computation description: | Number of First Nations regular clients aged 18 and over who had their BMI classified as:
within the previous 24 months. Presented as a number. Calculated separately for each BMI classification. BMI: A measure of an adult’s weight (body mass) relative to height used to assess the extent of weight deficit or excess where height and weight have been measured. BMI is the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in metres (WHO 2017). If the client had their BMI recorded more than once within the previous 24 months, include only the most recently recorded result. Only include clients whose BMI was classified using a height measurement taken since the client turned 18 and a weight measurement taken within the previous 24 months. BMI cannot be calculated if components necessary for its calculation (weight or height) are unknown or have not been collected. BMI not calculated: includes clients with neither height nor weight recorded, as well as those with invalid height and/or weight recorded. |

Calculation C: Number of First Nations regular clients aged 18 and over who had their BMI classified as overweight within the previous 24 months.
