Body Mass Index (BMI)
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. It provides a simple numeric measure to categorize individuals as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
