| BMI |
A measure of body fat that is the ratio of the weight of the body in kilograms to the square of its height in meters. BMI is a better measure of health risk than actual weight in pounds. The medical terms, overweight and obesity, are based on BMI values. A BMI of between 25 and 30 is defined as overweight, and a BMI of 30 or more is considered obese. The higher your BMI, the greater the risk of developing a weight-related illness.
