Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from an individual's height and weight. It is a widely used indicator of body fatness and helps assess whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. The BMI formula is as follows:

BMI=Weight in kilograms(Height in meters)2BMI=(Height in meters)2Weight in kilograms​

To calculate your BMI, follow these steps

Measure Your Weight: Weigh yourself in kilograms.

Measure Your Height: Measure your height in meters.

Apply the Formula: Insert your weight and height into the formula.

For example, if your weight is 70 kg and your height is 1.75 meters:

BMI=70(1.75)2BMI=(1.75)270​

BMI≈703.0625BMI≈3.062570​

BMI≈22.87BMI≈22.87

After calculating, you get a BMI of approximately 22.87. The interpretation of this BMI value falls into the "Normal Weight" category. Here's a general guide to BMI categories:

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

Keep in mind that while BMI is a useful screening tool, it doesn't directly assess body fat percentage or distribution. Consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation of your health status.
