Human body weight. The term human body weight is used colloquially and in the biological and medical sciences to refer to a person's mass or weight. Body weight is measured in kilograms, a measure of mass, throughout the world, although in some countries such as the United States it is measured in pounds, or as in the United Kingdom, stones and pounds.
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is the most common measure of body fatness for men and women. It's a simple calculation based on height and weight: weight (lb) / [height (in)]2 x 703. Recently, health professionals have been placing less emphasis on BMI because it doesn't take into account that weight is comprised of both fat and muscle.
