BMI is computed as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, using self-reported measurements. The material notes systematic bias where men tend to overestimate height and women underestimate weight, making BMI likely underestimated. Tables present BMI categories by gender and percent breakdowns, and further cross-tabulate BMI with gender, age categories, and state of most recent residence.
