Best Answer

Body Fat Percentage is calculated by total weight of a person's fat divided by their total overall weight. It cannot be calculated by using height and weight alone.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated by dividing the body mass in kg by the square height in in meters

BMI = [mass (kg)] / [height (m)]2
