Solution
Body Mass Index (BMI) is important because it is a screening tool that indicates whether a person is underweight, healthy, overweight or obese. A high BMI indicates high body fatness and increased health risk. It helps screen weight categories that may lead to health problems, though it is not diagnostic of body fatness or health of an individual.
