Question
which does body mass index (bmi) measure?
o total amount of body fat per body mass
o height to weight ratio of an individual
o risk of chronic disease
o level of physical activity
Body mass index (BMI) is calculated as weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared ($BMI=\frac{weight}{height^{2}}$). It is a measure that relates an individual's height to their weight. It is not a direct measure of body fat percentage (total amount of body fat per body mass is incorrect), not directly related to physical activity level, and while there is a correlation between high BMI and increased risk of chronic disease, BMI itself is a height - to - weight ratio measure.
