WHAT IS BMI?
Body mass index is a more accurate measurement than weight because it takes into account that short people tend to weigh less than tall people. It’s not perfect, however. The BMI of highly muscular athletes is often in the obese range.
The Web is full of sites that will calculate your body mass and help you evaluate what that number means.
