The BMI is not an exact measure of body fat percentage, but is a standard method for determining weight status. The correlation between the BMI number and body fatness is fairly strong, but it will vary by sex, race, and age. Regardless of BMI:
- Women tend to have more body fat than men.
- Older people tend to have more body fat than younger adults.
- Athletic individuals may have a higher BMI due to increased muscle mass.
