body mass
How heavy someone
Body mass is the total physical matter in a person's or animal's body, typically measured in kilograms or pounds.
The term appears most often in medical and fitness contexts, especially in the compound body mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight to height used to categorize people as underweight, normal, overweight, or obese.
