BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple, non-invasive measure that uses height and weight to categorize individuals as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. The BMI is a measure of the relationship between an individual's weight and height. The BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters and is thus completely noninvasive and easy to determine. The medical utility for determining a person's BMI is that this measure describes the body weight relative to height and it, thus, strongly correlates with the total body fat content in adults.
