Potential sources of error for bmi come from measurement errors. BMI is calculated by your height and weight. If the height is calculated by seeing how tall you are and measured by inches. If you are not standing straight and slouch you height measurement is not accurate. Weight is measured on a scale in pounds. One must remove clothes to get an accurate weight. If any of these measurements are off, the bmi will not correct.

Answer and explanation:

The Body Mass Index (BMI) measures the body fat according to the height and weight of and individual. It is applied both in adult men and women. The Waist and Hips ratio (WHR or W/H) is an indicator that measures health and the potential risk of developing a serious illness. Though, there might be errors in using any of those ratios if for instance a wrong part of the W/H is measured or if the equipment being used has failures.
