Body mass index: a measure of fatness or leanness? [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 1995 The relationship between body fat and stature-adjusted weight indices was explored. Assuming the term height2is a valid indicator of a subject's lean body mass, height2/weight was shown to be an accurate measure of percentage lean body mass and, as such, a better predictor of percentage body fat than the traditional body mass index (BMI; weight/height2)
