Abstract: BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It equals to a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his or her height in meters. BMI is a scientific way to measure a person’s weight level. Besides, BMI is vital to a person’s health state. It is a useful tool which can help people to improve their health. In this reason, BMI is widely used in many countries to test people’s health conditions.
In nowadays society, most young people don’t form healthy life styles and they neglect their body condition. Especially for college students who just no longer under parents’ daily care. They don’ t pay enough attention to exercise and their food intakes. As a result, they have no idea about how their health states are. Moreover, obesity and underweight are getting more and more common among the college students. It is necessary to analyze college students’ BMIs and their eating and exercising habits.
However, the study has some limitations. All the participants were LNU-MSU students, and most of them were freshmen. Only fifty students, twenty-five males and twenty-five females, participated in the study. Besides, some participants wrote down their approximate heights and weights. These can cause the inaccurate result. The researchers analyzed the participants’ average BMI, and found the relationship between LNU-MSU students’ BMIs and their eating and exercise habits.
