What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight, and obesity in adults. It is defined as a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters (kg/m²).
What is BMI?
BMI (Body Mass Index) measures body fat based on weight relative to height. Doctors and health professionals widely use it to categorise individuals into:
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5 – 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25 – 29.9
- Obesity: BMI 30 or higher
Knowing your BMI can help you track your fitness goals, maintain a healthy weight, and prevent lifestyle-related diseases.
