Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick way to estimate whether you’re in a healthy weight range based on your height and weight. It’s widely used by health professionals as an initial screening tool—though it doesn’t account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition.

1️⃣ What Is BMI?
Definition: A simple ratio of weight (kg) to the square of height (m²).
Purpose: Gives a rough estimate of whether your weight is under‑, normal‑, overweight, or obese for your height.
> ⚠️ BMI is not a diagnostic tool. It doesn’t measure body fat directly.
