Body Mass Index

Description    
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number  
calculated from a person’s weight and height.
       
BMI is used as an screening tool to identify
possible weight problems for adults/childs.
However, BMI is not a diagnostic tool.
BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat,
such as underwater weighing and dual energy
x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
BMI can be considered as an alternative for
direct measures of body fat.  
Additionally, BMI is an inexpensive and
easy-to-perform method of screening for
weight categories that may lead to health
problems.
