Body mass index (BMI)

Adult weight relative to height, with standard adult BMI categories.

Intended population: Adults aged 20 years and older; not a pediatric percentile calculation.

  • BMI is a screening measure, not a direct measure of body fat or a diagnosis. Pregnancy, muscularity, edema and body composition affect interpretation.
