The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the ratio of your weight to the square of
your height and is used as a general measure of overall fitness. The
number is proportional to your body shape. Generally, the number is
small for thin people and large for fat people. People with a BMI 25
or greater are considered overweight, unless they have a very muscular
body.
