BMI Examples
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used measure that assesses whether your weight is healthy in proportion to your height. Calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters, it provides a quick, accessible indicator for population-level health screening, but requires careful interpretation for individuals.
