Clinical Information for Body mass index (BMI) (Z68)

Body Mass Index - An indicator of body density as determined by the relationship of BODY WEIGHT to BODY HEIGHT. BMI=weight (kg)/height squared (m2). BMI correlates with body fat (ADIPOSE TISSUE). Their relationship varies with age and gender. For adults, BMI falls into these categories: below 18.5 (underweight); 18.5-24.9 (normal); 25.0-29.9 (overweight); 30.0 and above (obese). (National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.

  • Kilograms per meters squared

  • BMI adult codes are for use for persons 20 years of age or older
  • BMI pediatric codes are for use for persons 2-19 years of age.
  • These percentiles are based on the growth charts published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
