The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used screening tool to categorize weight status based on height and weight. It is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a general indicator of healthy weight.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m². A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal weight for most adults.
BMI does not account for muscle mass, age-related changes, ethnic differences, or fat distribution. Always consult a healthcare professional for a full assessment.
