BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numeric value calculated from an individual's weight and height, commonly used to assess whether a person is underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese. The formula is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m²). While BMI provides a general guideline for body weight relative to height, it does not directly measure body fat or health. As a result, it should be considered alongside other health indicators for a more comprehensive assessment of an individual's health status.
