Explanation: "Weight-to-height" is a common term used in assessing nutritional health, and the meaning needs to be reflected in your text. It means approximately the same thing as body mass index (BMI), though the numbers are calculated differently. Weight-to-height ratio is used more in medicine in relation to pathological conditions, malnourished children, assessment of treatment, etc.
