Description
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a persons weight and height. BMI is used as an screening tool to identify possible weight problems for adults/childs. However, BMI is not a diagnostic tool. BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat, such as underwater weighing and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). BMI can be considered as an alternative for direct measures of body fat. Additionally, BMI is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
