What is BMI

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a ratio between weight and height. It is a mathematical formula that correlates with body fat, used to evaluate if a person is at an unhealthy weight. The BMI is one factor that can be taken into account when assessing risk of developing diseases and disorders due to obesity, such as:

• Cardiovascular disease
• High blood pressure
• Osteoarthritis
• Some cancers
• Diabetes

BMI is only one of many factors used to predict risk for disease. It is important to remember that weight is only one factor that is related to disease.
