BMI stands for Body Mass Index, which is a measure of body fat based on a person's weight and height. It is commonly used to assess whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight (in kilograms) by their height (in meters squared).
BMI is a useful tool to assess whether a person is at a healthy weight or not, but it is not always a perfect indicator of health. For example, someone with a high amount of muscle mass may have a high BMI even though they are not overweight or obese. Additionally, BMI does not take into account other factors such as age, sex, or body composition, so it should be used in conjunction with other measures to assess overall health.
BMI ranges are typically categorized into different levels of body weight and are used to indicate whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. The World Health Organization (WHO) has established the following BMI ranges for adults:
