Corpulence index

Hey kiddo, do you know what corpulence means? It's just a fancy way of saying how fat or thin someone is.

Now, imagine if we want to measure someone's corpulence, we can use something called a corpulence index. This index helps us to see if someone is underweight, at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese.

We figure out the corpulence index by using a formula that takes into account someone's weight and height. This helps us to see if someone is carrying too much weight for their height or not enough weight for their height.

It's important to know your corpulence index because being too overweight or too underweight can be harmful to your health. That's why doctors and nurses often use the corpulence index to keep track of their patient's health.

Remember, it's not about looks or being skinny. It's all about making sure that we're healthy and taking care of our bodies!
