Body Mass Index (BMI) measurement is a calculation that determines the level of body fat based on a person's weight and height. It is a simple and widely used method to assess whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters (BMI = kg/m2). The resulting number is used to classify a person's weight status based on the following categories:

• Underweight: BMI below 18.5
• Normal weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
• Overweight: BMI between 25 and 29.9
• Obesity: BMI of 30 or higher

BMI measurement is a useful tool for assessing an individual's risk for developing health problems related to excess body weight, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and some types of cancer. However, it is important to note that BMI does not directly measure body fat or distinguish between different types of body composition, such as muscle mass versus fat mass. Therefore, other methods such as body fat percentage measurements may be more appropriate for certain populations, such as athletes or older adults.
