Answer from: aaron2113

Body mass index takes into account both weight and height. It does not measures the body fat directly.

Further Explanation:

Body Mass Index (BMI) reflects the ratio of person’s weight in kilograms to the square of height in meters. A high BMI of a person indicates that the person is having high fatness.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) puts weight into three categories and they are:

1. Normal weight

2. Overweight

3. Obesity

According to the studies done by the National Center for Health, the Statistics includes:

1. BMI values less than 18.5 kg/m² reflects that the individual is underweight.

2. Overweight can be described as the body mass index of 25.0 to less than 30.0 kg/m².People having BMIs in this range possess increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

3. Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30.0 kg/m² or greater. People with BMIs of 30 kg/m² or more possess high cardiovascular diseases risk.

4. BMI values from 18.5 kg/m² to 24.9 kg/m² reflects that the individual ishealthy.
