What's Involved?

All of the studies taking place at the Rowett Institute will be slightly different and specific information on each one is available in the Current Studies Section.  Below we have tried to address some of the most common questions but, if you have any further queries, please feel free to get in touch.

What is my Body Mass Index (BMI)?

Body Mass Index or BMI is a measure of whether you're a healthy weight for your height and is calculated by taking your weight in kilograms and dividing it by your height in metres squared (kg/m2). Some of our studies may ask for volunteers in a certain BMI range. You can calculate yours at NHS healthy weight calculator.
