Professional Health Assessment Tool with Visual Analytics and Personalized Recommendations
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m² where kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m² is their height in meters squared. BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it's not a direct measure of body fatness and doesn't account for factors like muscle mass, bone density, or overall body composition. For most adults, BMI provides a good estimate of weight-related health risks.
