The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure for human body shape based on an individual's height and weight.
Fourteen million Australians are overweight.
More than five million Australians are obese
(BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 ).
Obesity has overtaken smoking as the leading cause of premature death and illness in Australia.
