Increasingly, doctors are using the body mass index (BMI) to check
for obesity. BMI is calculated using a mathematical formula that
includes a person's weight and height. In recent studies, BMI
was used to estimate the risk of health problems due to obesity.
As a result, many experts and key government agencies recommend
using the BMI as a screening tool. If your BMI is 25 or over,
you are likely to be at greater risk due to your weight.
