Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on a person’s weight and height. It’s calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared.
BMI provides an estimate of whether an individual is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, helping assess health risks associated with weight.
However, it doesn’t directly measure body fat or distinguish between fat and muscle mass. Despite its limitations, BMI is widely used in healthcare as a screening tool for identifying potential weight-related health issues.
