What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value calculated from a person's weight and height. It provides a useful indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
BMI Categories (WHO)
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5 – 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25 – 29.9
- Obese: BMI 30 and above
⚠️ Disclaimer: BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic measure. Consult a healthcare professional for a complete health assessment.
