Body Mass Index
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a statistical measure of body weight based on a person's
weight and height. Though it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it is used to estimate a
healthy body weight based on a person's height.
Due to its ease of measurement and calculation, it is the most widely used diagnostic tool to identify weight
problems within a population, usually whether individuals are underweight, overweight or obese.
It was invented between 1830 and 1850 by the Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet during the course of
developing "social physics. Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square
of his or her height.
