BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a calculation that determines an individual’s weight relative to their height. It is widely used as a screening tool for potential weight problems in adults.
To calculate BMI, you can use the formula: weight (kg) / height (m)2. For instance, if an individual weighs 70 kilograms and is 1.70 meters tall, their BMI would be calculated as 70 / (1.70 x 1.70) = 24.2.
