What is BMI?
The BMI may be determined first by measuring its components by means of a
weighing scale and a stadiometer. The multiplication and division may be
carried out directly, by hand or using a calculator, or indirectly using a
lookup table (or chart).
Body mass index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is expressed in units of kg/m2, resulting from mass in kilograms (kg) and height in meters (m).
