Body mass index (BMI)

The body mass index (BMI) is an index for evaluating the body weight of a person.

Since the BMI is solely a rough estimate and naturally cannot take account of the stature of a person and the individually different composition of the body weight from fat and muscle tissue, we perform in addition in our Institute the so-called body composition analysis, with the aid of which an accurate statement about the relevant compartments of the body can be made.
