From WikiLectures
Body Mass Index or index of body weight (BMI) expresses the relationship between body weight and height. Normal BMI range is 18.5–25. Values below 18.5 indicate underweight or malnutrition, values above 25 indicate overweight, BMI above 30 indicates obesity.
BMI can be calculated as the ratio of weight in kg to height in meters squared.
