Body-mass index (BMI) is more useful than a patient's weight alone to assess health status. BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight (in kilograms) by the square of his or her height (in meters). In general, a person with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered "overweight," and someone with a BMI of 30 or above is considered "obese."
Body fat mass improves with GH replacement therapy. The BMI can be used to follow changes over time.
