The body mass index is an estimation of a person's body fat, according to the National Institutes of Health. To calculate BMI, divide your weight (in pounds) by your height (in inches) squared, and then multiply that number by a conversion factor of 703. This same calculation can be used when measuring weight in kilograms and height in meters, but no conversion factor is needed.
BMI is an indicator of total body fat in many individuals. Thus it is considered as an indicator of health risk. BMI is used by healthcare professionals to screen for overweight and obese individuals.
