BMI is a method that uses your height and weight to assess your body size and determine if you are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. It is a widely used method to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
To calculate your BMI, you can use the following formula:
BMI = weight (in kilograms) / (height (in meters))^2
Alternatively, you can use online BMI calculators or mobile apps which will ask for your height and weight and automatically calculate your BMI for you.
Once you have your BMI score, you can refer to a chart or table provided by health organizations to interpret your results and determine which weight category you fall into. This can give you an indication of whether you need to make any changes to your lifestyle or consult a healthcare professional for further assistance.
