BMI Calculator
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple and widely used method for estimating body fat based on a person’s weight and height. It is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. While BMI does not directly measure body fat, it has been found to be a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people.
It’s important to note that BMI is not a perfect measure, as it doesn’t account for factors like muscle mass, bone density, or distribution of fat. Nevertheless, it can serve as a useful starting point for understanding your overall health.
