About BMI (Body Mass Index)

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure used to assess an individual's body weight relative to their height. It's widely used to determine whether a person has a healthy weight, is overweight, or underweight. The formula for calculating BMI is:

BMI Formula:

                    BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m))^2
                    

Where:

• Weight is in kilograms (kg)
• Height is in meters (m)

BMI Categories:

The BMI value is typically interpreted within the following categories:

BMI Range	Category
Below 18.5	Underweight
18.5 - 24.9	Normal weight
25.0 - 29.9	Overweight
30.0 and above	Obesity

Example Calculation:

For a person weighing 70 kg and height 1.75 m:

                    BMI = 70 / (1.75)^2 = 70 / 3.0625 ≈ 22.86
                    

This person falls into the "Normal weight" category.

BMI Formula for Different Units (Imperial):

In case you're using pounds (lbs) and inches (in) instead of kilograms and meters, the formula would be:

                    BMI = Weight (lbs) / (Height (in))^2 * 703
                    

Where 703 is the conversion factor from pounds/inches to kilograms/meters.
