Labels: Body mass index is just a standard way of reporting a persons relative weight for height. There are BMI's that suggest one is slim, normal, or heavy. The other terms sound like someone is trying to say the problem is vague and there is no common label for it. These terms often appear on insurance forms to try to justify a patient visit or treatment.
