The units in Catbus's proposed version are lb/ft^3 (≈ 16 kg/m^3) - but keep in mind this isn't density - it would be density if you weighed the same but were shaped like a cube 6ish feet on each side.
Catbus:
Which reminds me: Muscle is denser than fat, so if you have a very low body fat percentage, your wt/ht3 will be higher than it would be for a more sedentary person with a similar build.

If your BMI (weight in kg/ (length in meters x length in meters) )is higher then 25 though you have a problem, and should really go consult a dietist, if you're topping 30 you're expected to not live another 10years without medical help required.

BMI is among the worst measures of health in the world. I am an eighteen year old male. I am six feet two, two hundred and fifty four pounds. This makes my BMI somewhere in the range of 31-32. I can bench press 275 pounds and, despite being "obese" according to BMI, I can still run three eight-minute miles consecutively. I have some love handles and slight manboobs, but I am not obese. BMI was designed long before modern nutrition and weight training were discovered or used extensively. The only real accurate measure of health in this sense is body fat percentage.

S: I've never understood it. How does me being twiggy bother other people so much, to the point where they insult me over it? I'm the one who has to spend 6 hours shopping to find two pairs of freaking jeans.
Granted, it'd be easier to find jeans if I were shorter, but oh well.

I think we have the same problem. But I'm about 5 foot one and chubby. Haha.
My dad married my mom mostly because she could pack away food. She was a skinny little thing, too.
