Answer options:

a.body weight relative to height; the amount of one’s abdominal fat

b.body weight relative to height; one’s height

c.abdominal fat relative to height; one’s age

d.abdominal fat relative to height; one’s hip measurement

Answer

a.

Explanation:

BMI takes into account your weight and your height. However, this can be a bit problematic because it doesn't take into account muscle mass. So someone who is, for example, short and muscular but with little to no body fat, could show an "obese" BMI, even though they are in great shape.

BSI aims to overcome this by also taking into account abdominal fat by measuring waist circumference. Body shape seems to be better at predicting how likely someone is to suffer weight-related illnesses, so BSI takes into account these factors for a more accurate measure.
