lolas height is 5 feet 7 inches, or 67 inches, and her weight is 170 pounds. after doing some calculations, she discovers that her _____ is 26.62, which is considered in the overweight category.
o body mass index
o weight index
o nutritive set point
o critical mass level
Body mass index (BMI) is calculated using the formula \(BMI=\frac{weight (in pounds)\times703}{height (in inches)^2}\). Here, Lola's weight is 170 pounds and height is 67 inches. Plugging into the formula: \(\frac{170\times703}{67^2}=\frac{119510}{4489}\approx26.62\). Weight index is not a standard medical term for this calculation. Nutritive set point refers to the body's regulation of calorie intake and metabolism, not a numerical value calculated from height and weight. Critical mass level is a term from physics (related to nuclear reactions) and not relevant here.
