Height Weight Proportional
Height Weight Proportional (HWP) refers to a body mass index calculation based on the ratio of a person's weight to height squared. In medical use, a ratio of between 25 and 30 is considered normal, with over 30 being considered overweight—although other factors are involved, and the calculation is only a tool to aid diagnosis.
