4. ● For adults, overweight and obesity ranges are determined by
using weight and height to calculate a number called the
"body mass index" (BMI). BMI is used because, for most
people, it correlates with their amount of body fat.

6. ● It is important to remember that although BMI correlates with
the amount of body fat, BMI does not directly measure body
fat. As a result, some people, such as athletes, may have a
BMI that identifies them as overweight even though they do
not have excess body fat.
