How do I know if I'm overweight? Body mass index (BMI) is a measure
of weight in relation to height, and provides an estimate of your
total body fat. It applies to both men and women, but it does have
some limits:
-
It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a
muscular build.
-
It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have
lost muscle mass.
