	Body mass index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The BMI has been used to define the medical standard for obesity measurement in several countries since the early 1980s, and is the measure employed in World Health Organization obesity statistics.
		Despite the limitations of the BMI as a statistical estimate of adiposity, 21st Century public health campaigns tend to promote the BMI as a 'rule-of-thumb' guide to optimum weight for an individual of a given height, with the convenience of being easily calculable at home.
		BMI for children aged 2 to 20 years is calculated just as it is for adults, but it is classified differently.

		It was founded by the broadcasters as a rival to ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, which was boycotting radio at the time in 1944.
