Definición

  • The most commonly accepted method to calculate obesity is the calculation of the body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat based on height and weight: weight in pounds divided by height in feet, squared. This calculation replaced the American Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's height and weight charts expressed for small, medium, and large body frames.The BMI as a calculation, and the widely accepted guidelines that accompany it, come with considerable controversy.
