BMI (Body Mass Index) Introduction, History and BMI Calculator
In this video
I go over a brief introduction and history lesson on the
BMI or the
Body Mass Index. This is the most widely used index for obesity so it is important to understand the history of the BMI and it's usage.
Basically the BMI is a measure of relative mass based on an individual's mass and height and has units of kg/m^2. The BMI
Formula is: BMI = mass/height^2. This equation was discovered by
Adolphe Quetelet to be a better relationship between mass and height as opposed to a direct proportion of mass and height.
