A list of all pages that have property "Description" with value "The '''body mass index''', BMI, is the ratio of body mass to height squared (BMI=''M''·''H''<sup>-2</sup>), recommended by the WHO as a general indicator of underweight (BMI<18.5 kg·m<sup>-2</sup>), overweight (BMI>25 kg·m<sup>-2</sup>) and obesity (BMI>30 kg·m<sup>-2</sup>). Keys et al (1972; see 2014) emphasized that 'the prime criterion must be the relative independence of the index from height'. It is exactly the dependence of the BMI on height - from children to adults, women to men, Caucasians to Asians -, which requires adjustments of BMI-cutoff points. This deficiency is resolved by the [[body mass excess]] relative to the [[healthy reference population]].". Since there have been only a few results, also nearby values are displayed.
