Body Mass Index
(BMI)
Body
mass index, or BMI, is a new term to most people. However, it is the
measurement of choice for many physicians and researchers studying obesity. BMI
uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and
weight. BMI equals a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters
squared. (BMI=kg/m2).
