BMI
From Gomerpedia
BMI stands for body mass index. In America, BMI is synonymous with obesity. So much so that the World Health Organization updated its BMI classification system (see Figure 17).[1] This is the first revision to the BMI classification system since the American Medical Association raised the BMI cutoff for obesity from 30 to 35 back in 2013.[2]
