BMI is used to assess how much an individual's body weight departs from what is normal or desirable for a person of his or her height.

For most people, BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness. It is calculated on the basis of your height and weight.

BMI is only a rough guide. It can't distinguish whether its fat or muscles.

It doesn't take body type into account.
