[...] the condition health researchers refer to as “overweight” was defined as having a body mass index, or BMI, of 25 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) to less than 30 kg/m² and obesity as a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher.

What if you have someone who is really thin from the side but really fat from the front?

BMI is your weight divided by the square of your height
