Answer:

body fatness

Step-by-step explanation:

Body mass index is a value derived from the mass and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is expressed in units of kg/m², resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres.

So, a high BMI indicates high body fatness, and a low BMI might indicate thinness.

Hope this helps!
