How it's used
Refers specifically to the measurement of a person's mass, often used in health or fitness contexts. While it is a standard noun, it sounds slightly clinical or formal compared to talking about being fat or thin, which people usually express using adjectives like 肥 or 瘦.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe the weight of inanimate objects, as it is strictly for human or animal bodies. For general objects, use 重量 instead.
