Body mass index is the measurement used to judge whether people are at a healthy weight, given their height. Correct answer: D

BMI is obtained when a person's weight in kilograms is divided by the square of height in meters. The BMI measure indicates nutritional status in adults and categorizes people in six categories: underweight, normal weight, pre-obesity, obesity class I, obesity class II and obesity class III.
