BMI Calculator

What is BMI?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple measure used to assess body fat levels and determine if an individual is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

BMI Formula

The BMI is calculated using the following formula:

BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)²

Calculation Example

For example, if your height is 170cm and your weight is 70kg, your BMI is calculated as follows:

BMI = 70 ÷ (1.7 × 1.7) = 24.2

Importance of BMI

BMI is widely used by researchers and healthcare professionals to assess an individual's body fat and health status.

• Less than 18.5: Underweight
• 18.5 - 22.9: Normal weight
