DEFINITION: Compares the ratio of male to female BMI by countries, according to data gathered by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The BMI (Body Mass Index) measures how appropiate is the weight of an individual compared to their height.

A high BMI (25 or more) is usually associated with a risk of suffering diverse health problems.
