About BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening tool that measures the relationship between your height and weight to estimate body fat.
BMI is calculated using the formula: weight (kg) / height (m)².
Important: BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic tool. It may not accurately reflect health status for athletes, elderly individuals, or those with high muscle mass.
