Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The body mass index (BMI) is based on an individual's height and weight, and is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters (BMI = kg/m^2). Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A involves measures of body fat (sum of skinfolds and body density), option C involves measurements not relevant to BMI, and option D includes measures of body fat (sum of skinfolds) and body shape (waist-to-hip ratio), but not height or weight.
