What is BMI?
Body Mass Index is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy. The calculation divides an adult's weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared.
BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic one. It does not account for body composition (muscle vs. fat), age, or sex. An athlete may have a high BMI due to muscle mass, not excess fat. Always consult a healthcare professional.
