How is BMI Calculated?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using your height and weight. It is used to categorize individuals based on their body weight in relation to their height. The formula to calculate BMI is:

BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m))²

If you are using imperial units (lbs/in), the formula changes to:

BMI = (Weight (lbs) / (Height (in))²) × 703

Understanding your BMI can help you determine whether you are at a healthy weight for your height. However, it's important to remember that BMI does not account for factors such as muscle mass, bone density, or distribution of fat. It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment of your health.
