What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

Body Mass Index, commonly known as BMI, is a simple yet valuable tool used to assess your body's weight in proportion to your height. It provides a numerical value that helps gauge whether your weight falls within a healthy range. BMI is widely employed in health and nutrition to estimate the relative amount of body fat an individual has, making it a useful indicator of overall health.

To find your BMI, you simply input your weight and height into a formula that then places you in categories like underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, providing insight into your health.

However, it's essential to keep in mind that while BMI provides a helpful snapshot of your weight relative to your height, it doesn't consider factors like muscle mass, body composition, or fat distribution. Therefore, it's just one part of a comprehensive health assessment and should be interpreted alongside other health measurements and professional guidance to make informed decisions about your well-being.

BMI Formula

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated using the following formula:

• BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m) * height (m))
