Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using height and weight to assess if a person has a healthy body weight. It is important because it helps screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters (kg/m²).
BMI ranges indicate weight categories: underweight (<18.5), normal weight (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (30 or higher).
Yes, BMI does not differentiate between muscle and fat mass and may not accurately reflect health status in athletes, elderly, or children.
No, BMI is just an estimate and doesn’t directly measure body fat.
