BMI formula

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation used to assess whether an individual has a healthy body weight for their height. The formula is: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m) x height (m)). This means you divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. The resulting number helps categorize you: underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, based on standardized ranges. While it can provide insight into body weight relative to height, it doesn't account for factors like muscle mass, body composition, or distribution, so it's best used as a general guideline rather than a definitive measure of health.
