BMI chart

The Body Mass Index (BMI) chart is a tool used to categorize individuals based on their weight relative to their height. It helps assess whether a person has a healthy body weight, being classified into ranges: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese. To calculate BMI, divide weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. While BMI provides a general guideline on body weight, it does not directly measure body fat or take factors like muscle mass or distribution into account, so it should be used as part of a broader assessment of health.
