Body
Mass Index (BMI) is a calculated
|
| |
number
derived from the input values
|
| |
for the person's 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 the
|
| |
body
fat, such as underwater weighing and
|
| |
dual energy
x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
|
| |
BMI can be
consisdered as an alternative
|
| |
for direct measure of
body fat.
|
|
| |
Additionally,
BMI is an inexpensive and
|
| |
easy-to-perform
method of screening for
|
| |
weight
categories that may lead to health
|
| |
problems.
