Understanding Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a numerical value calculated from a person's weight and height. It is calculated using the following formula:

BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m) × height (m))

BMI categories:

• Underweight: BMI < 18.5
• Normal weight: 18.5 - 24.9
• Overweight: 25 - 29.9
• Obesity: BMI ≥ 30

While BMI is a useful screening tool for weight categories, it doesn't directly measure body fat. Always consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive health assessment.
