Yes, the BMI scale or Body Mass Index is a tool used to measure the percentage of body fat in an individual using both height and weight. The formula uses your weight divided by the square of your height.
The method of measuring weight involves comparing a person's weight and height is called BODY MASS INDEx.
How much you need to eat (i.e. how many calories you need) is depended on height, weight, age and how much "stuff" you do in a day. However 'weight' (i.e. bodyfat) depends on how much you actually eat, relative to what you need to eat. So body fat is slightly dependent on height and weight, but not directly.
