What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, widely used as a screening tool to identify potential weight-related health issues in adults.

Metric formula: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)²

Imperial formula: BMI = 703 × weight (lbs) ÷ height (in)²

BMI is a useful population-level indicator but does not directly measure body fat or account for muscle mass, bone density, age, sex, or fat distribution. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalized health advice.
