The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a metric used internationally to assess the degree of body fat and evaluate whether an individual's weight falls within a healthy range. Often abbreviated as BMI, it serves as a standard for measuring body composition and overall health.
The formula for calculating BMI is: BMI = weight (kg) / height² (m²), where the weight is in kilograms and the height is in meters.
