Body Mass Index
Body Mass Index or BMI is a simple index for a weight to height ratio. It is usually used to classify underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity in adults.
However, BMI does not always correspond to the amount of fat a person has as lean tissue weighs more than fat. A healthy person may have a lot of muscles and a little amount of fat, yet they still may be classified as overweight or obese according to BMI.
