Group evaluation of body mass index

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to set up BMI evaluation index, I _BMI, as the tool for assessing the effects of weight control programs. A large number of improvement plans were brought up to settle obesity problems; however, those plans could involve up to thousands or even tens of thousands of subjects. With I _BMI, the results and effects of the plans can be evaluated by sampling, a feature of I _BMI. Therefore, I _BMI serves as an accurate, easy and convenient way of measuring group BMI.
