Preparation Staff asked 4 weeks ago BMI (Body Mass Index) is a numerical value that indicates body fat based on a person's height and weight. It is commonly used to assess whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. The BMI formula is:
BMI Categories:
Below 18.5 – Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 – Normal weight
25 - 29.9 – Overweight
30 and above – Obese
While BMI is a useful tool for general health assessment, it does not consider factors like muscle mass, bone density, and body composition. Athletes or muscular individuals may have a high BMI but low body fat, making other measures like body fat percentage more accurate.
