What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is the measurement of an individual's body weight in relation to their height. It is an important tool used to assess whether a person's weight falls within a healthy range and whether they are underweight or overweight. Understanding your BMI can help you gauge your risk for various health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and joint issues. Please note that BMI has limitations and doesn't consider factors like muscle mass, bone density, and distribution of fat, which means that it should be considered alongside other health assessments for a comprehensive view of one's health status.
