| body mass index |
(BMI) Weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in metres. Among middle-aged adults, BMI is strongly correlated with fat mass. The risk of diabetes, high blood pressure or coronary heart disease increases with increasing BMI. Because there is no specific BMI associated with an increased risk of disease, various levels of BMI are used as guidelines for healthy targets. This report uses a level of BMI of 25.0-29.9 as excess weight, and a level of BMI ?30 as obesity.

Body mass index (BMI) is measure of body fat based on height and weight. While BMIs are a good measure of population health, there are limitations when applying to individual health (eg may not adequately measure children going through growing spurts, do not provide accurate measures on individuals with high muscle mass). BMI calculators are available through searching the internet.
