What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. It is a widely used screening tool to identify whether an individual is at a healthy weight for their height.

• Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
• Normal weight: 18.5 to 24.9
• Overweight: 25 to 29.9
• Obese: 30 or higher

Note: BMI does not directly measure body fat or account for muscle mass (e.g., in athletes).
