What is BMI?
BMI is a measure of body fat based on your height and weight, applicable to both men and women. It is a simple and inexpensive screening method to assess potential health problems related to being overweight or underweight.
How is BMI Calculated?
BMI is calculated using a simple formula: BMI = Weight (kg) / [Height (m)]2 For example, if a person weighs 70 kg and is 1.75 m tall, the BMI calculation would be: BMI = 70 / (1.75)2 BMI = 70 / (3.0625) ≈ 22.86
What do BMI Scores Indicate?
BMI is a tool for general health screening. The results are primarily used to assess health status.
