Definition of bmi
2 senses · 1 part of speech
noun
-
(abbreviation, alt-of, initialism)Initialism of body mass index.
“The Federal Obesity Clinical Guidelines define underweight as a BMI of 18 or less, overweight as a BMI of 25 to 29.9 and obesity as a BMI of 30 and above.”
“Wrong, says a new study, which has found that among adults 18 to 90 across the BMI continuum, having an apple shape increased the risk of death -- particularly death from cardiovascular disease. Even at BMIs above 30, where obesity begins, men and women whose waist-to-hip ratio identified them as more pear-shaped were less likely to die -- of any cause and of cardiovascular causes -- than those with similar BMIs who were apple-shaped.”
“In the bivariate analysis carried out by subgroups, we did not find statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between bionaïve or bioexperienced patients, patients with BMI < 30 or BMI > 30 in relation to the efficacy variables (PASI and BSA) and analyzed PROs (VAS pruritus and DLQI).”
