Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The body mass index (BMI) is a commonly used height/weight ratio to assess healthy weight, overweight, and obesity. It calculates an individual's body fat based on their height and weight, and provides a score that indicates whether they are underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese. Other tests mentioned (body composition test, submersion test, Set Point Index) are less commonly used for this purpose.
