Why does BMI have units of kg/m^2 when we are three dimensional? Wouldn’t kg/m^3 or g/cm^3 be more accurate?

How does one compare how overweight/underweight one person is to another?
It’s not the absolute weight. You have to take height into account.
Turns out height squared works consistently to compare people’s weights over a wide variety of heights and weights.
People’s (volume) cm^3 doesn’t track with their weight as much as the square relationship of height
