The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a
statistical measure of body weight based on a person's
weight and height. Though it does not actually measure
the percentage of body fat, it is used to estimate a
healthy body weight based on a person's height. Due to
its ease of measurement and calculation, it is the
most widely used diagnostic tool to identify weight
problems within a population, usually whether
individuals are underweight, overweight or obese. Very
Useful tools if you plan for weight loss.
