Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. BMI is a rapid way to discover if you are overweight, obese, underweight or normal. See more about BMI below in this page. For most people, BMI...
There are differences in height and weight ratios between races. Age and gender are not considered. Women with the same BMI tend to have more body fat than men with the same BMI, and older people with the same BMI tend to have more body fat than younger people with the same BMI. BMI...

In Tables8,9,10 the original L, M and S values for aortic distensibility and PWV are given. An age-related decrease of aortic distensibility was found for all anatomical locations (r = -0.43 to -0.52, p < 0.001). Aortic distensibility also correlated with height (r = -...

Maintaining BMI for age was defined as a 0-unit change in the distance from the median BMI for age at a measurement point from the baseline. BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Table. Baseline Characteristics of Youths by Baseline BMI for Agea View...
Body mass index (BMI), defined as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters, has predominantly been adopted as a surrogate of adiposity or obesity6,7,10,11. Despite its advantages, such as simplicity and reproducibility, BMI is not optimal in differentiating muscle mass ...
Ultimately, 25 control-obesity pairs were formed, matched by gender and similarity in age and height. A total of 32 normal-weight participants were excluded because they could not be paired (Fig. 2). Fig. 2 Diagrams showing a schematic summary of the participants recruited for this study ...
ExposuresDifferent combinations of BMI (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared; normal weight: BMI, 18.5-24.9; overweight: BMI, 25.0-29.9; and obesity: BMI, ≥30) and WC (normal: WC, ≤88 cm and high: WC, >88 cm). ...
To be eligible, participants had to be between the ages of 23 years and 40 years and a body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 35 or less. Women taking a thyroid hormone or antithyroid medication or who had undergone thyroid surgery or ra...
