BMI or Body mass index is measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. Calculating the BMI is one of the best methods for population assessment of overweight and obesity. It is low-cost and easy to use for clinicians and the general public. The use of BMI allows people to compare their own weight status to the general population. The only information required to calculate a
person's BMI are height, weight, and the BMI formula. Any person with a BMI over 25 would be classified as overweight.
