Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared.
BMI is a useful screening tool for weight status, but it is important to remember that it is just one measure of health. Other factors, such as body fat distribution, muscle mass, and overall health, should also be considered when assessing a person's health.
It does not take into account body fat distribution. People with a lot of muscle mass may have a high BMI, even if they have a low body fat percentage.
It is a relatively simple calculation and may not be accurate for people with certain medical conditions, such as edema.
