Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Body mass index (BMI) is not a measure of a person's percentage of body fat, it's a measure of body weight relative to height. It is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared. While BMI can be used as a screening tool to determine if someone is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, it does not differentiate between fat mass and muscle mass, which can lead to inaccuracies in certain individuals such as athletes or those with a high muscle mass.
