What is BMI?

BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a measurement of body fat based on your weight in relation to your height. It is used to categorize individuals into underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese ranges. BMI is a simple tool to assess whether a person is at a healthy weight. However, it does not directly measure body fat percentage or distribution.

To calculate BMI, divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. Alternatively, you can use pounds and inches with the formula: BMI = (weight in pounds / (height in inches x height in inches)) × 703.

BMI is commonly used by healthcare providers to evaluate health risks related to weight, such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Always consult with a healthcare provider for a more comprehensive health assessment.
