BMI is the abbreviation of Body Mass Index.

Although it cannot be used to measure the percentage of body fat it is useful to estimate body weight based on a person's height.

For doctors and others involved in the medical industry it is the most commonly used diagnostic to identify weight problem because of the simple calculation needed to find one's BMI.
