Body mass index

Body mass index reflects weight relative to height. This score estimates your inherited tendency toward a higher or lower BMI, which diet and activity strongly modify.

Evidence & sources

This polygenic score combines 230 common variants.

A higher score means higher BMI.

This score was developed mostly in people of European ancestry (78%), so it may be less accurate for other backgrounds.
