| Description | The body mass index (BMI) is a measure of a person's weight relative to their height that links fairly well with body fat. The BMI is used as a measure of obesity for adults (those aged 18 years and over) when only weight and height data are available. It is calculated as a person's weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of his or her height (in metres): BMI = weight (kg) / [height * height] (m²). |
