What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on your weight in relation to your height. It is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems.

How is BMI Calculated?

  • For metric units (kg, cm): BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m) * Height (m))
  • For imperial units (lb, ft, in): Convert height to meters: Height (inches) * 0.0254 = Height (m)
