Body Mass Index (BMI)

 

  
BMI is a tool used to evaluate weight status in adults and correlates with body fat. The relationship between BMI and fatness differs with age and with gender, older people having more fat than young at comparable BMI, and women having more than men.  
As BMI goes up, so does the risk for some diseases.
