Body Mass Index ("BMI")
BMI provides a useful measurement of the ratio of your height to mass (i.e., your weight). For the vast majority of people, it is considered to be a very reliable indicator of body fat.

There are two different types of BMI calculations: one for kids and teenagers (from 2 to 19 years of age) and another for adults (those aged 20 and over). Depending on what units you use to measure yourself (inches, pounds, centimeters or kilograms), adults can use one of these easy calculators:

• BMI Calculator for Adults using Imperial measurements (pounds, feet and inches)
  
  
• BMI Calculator for Adults using Metric measurements (kilograms and centimeters)
