Which are reasons to analyze a person’s body mass index (bmi)? check all that apply. to indicate the level of body composition to relate body weight to fat content to determine activity level to consider current height in relation to weight to accurately determine body fat percentage

The correct answers are: to relate body weight to fat content, and to consider current height in relation to weight.

Explanation:

BMI, abbreviated from Body Mass Index, is a way of measure that was developed by the statistician Adolphe Quetelet. BMI calculates the body mass of a person by dividing his or her weight in kilograms by the square of his or her body height (in meters).

BMI is very commonly used to indicate if a certain someone is underweight, has a normal weight, is overweight, or is obese. BMI usually relates the body weight to the fat content in a person's body. However, BMI does not take into consideration the muscle mass of an individual - so a person with a lot of muscle mass but almost nothing of body fat (like a bodybuilder) can easily be ranked as obese because they weight much more than the normal weight people with their same height.

For this particular reason, BMI relates body weight to fat content and considers the current height in relation to weight, but nothing else. BMI DOES NOT determine body fat percentage (the only things taken into consideration when calculating BMI are height and weight), DOES NOT indicate the level of body composition (because it doesn't separate fat from muscle), and DOES NOT determine activity level either - as a person with a low BMI could be sedentary and a person with a high BMI could be very active.
