BMI is a general screening measure. It does not diagnose health conditions or replace medical advice.
BMI Formula
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It compares weight with height using a simple formula.
BMI = weight in kg ÷ height in metres²
Example
If weight is 70 kg and height is 1.75 m, the BMI calculation is:
70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.86
