Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple ratio of weight to height. Doctors use it as a quick screen for under- or over-weight in adults.
BMI (imperial) = 703 × lb ÷ in² BMI (metric) = kg ÷ m²
BMI is a screen, not a diagnosis. Athletes and people with high muscle mass can show 'overweight' BMIs while being lean.
