What is BMI?
BMI stands for Body Mass Index and it is a measure of body fat based on a person's weight and height. It is commonly used as an indicator of whether someone is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
To calculate BMI, you divide the weight (in kilograms) by the height squared (in meters). The result is a number that can be used to categorize a person's weight status.
It's important to note that BMI is not a perfect measure of body fat and it doesn't take into account factors like muscle mass or body composition. However, it can be a useful tool for getting a general idea of a person's weight status and health risk.
