BMI or Body Mass Index measures the amount of body fat based on your height and weight. The number can be used for both men and women.
The number can be overestimating obesity for someone with heavy muscles, or underestimating body fat for seniors who have lost muscle mass. Please consult a health professional to get an accurate BMI.
