The Body Mass Index (BMI) equation quantifies an individual’s weight in relation to their height.
A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered a healthy weight,
while a BMI of 30 or higher suggests obesity.
BMI is a useful metric for tracking weight and identifying health issues.
It was created in 1832 by Adolphe Quetelet, a Belgian astronomer and statistician.
