Body-Mass-Index
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement for assessing a person’s weight (body mass). Since
excess weight is a globally growing problem the body mass index is primarily used to indicate as-
sociated risks.
The BMI correlates body mass to the body surface, which is calculated approximately using the
square of the body height. The BMI therefore only represents a rough reference point, as it does not
consider physique and sex or the individual composition of a person’s body mass of fat- and muscle
tissue.
