Question 4 • Contemporary Health

Which does body mass index (BMI) measure?

Answer
A
total amount of body fat per body mass
B
risk of chronic disease
C
height to weight ratio of an individual
D
level of physical activity

Explanation

BMI is calculated using a person’s weight and height: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. It gives a height-to-weight measure, but it does not directly measure body fat or physical activity; it can be used as a general screening indicator related to health risks.
