Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The body mass index (BMI) is calculated based on a person's weight-to-height ratio. It is a commonly used measure to assess whether someone is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. It is not related to insulin, glucose, or NPY levels in the bloodstream, nor is it an indicator of the "ecology of eating" or the rate of energy expenditure at rest.
