What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a value derived from a person's weight and height. It provides a simple numeric measure of a person's thickness or thinness, allowing health professionals to discuss weight problems more objectively. BMI does not directly measure body fat percentage.

Formula

BMI = weight(kg) / height(m)²
