Body mass index (BMI) is a medical screening tool that measures the ratio of your height to your weight to estimate the amount of body fat you have. Healthcare providers calculate BMI by using weight in kilograms (kg) divided by the square of height in meters (m2). Although BMI is not perfect because it does not directly assess body fat, it is still considered a reasonable alternative for identifying people who are overweight or obese, since measuring body fat directly is a costly process.
