Skip to content BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) serves as a convenient metric for assessing an individual’s weight category, calculated based on their weight and height relative to body fat.
While BMI offers a quick estimate for most individuals, it has its limitations: it might underestimate body fat in older adults or those with low muscle mass, and conversely, overestimate body fat in individuals with significant muscle mass.
