What is bmi?

​

BMI is Body mass index (BMI) is a measurement of body fat based on an adult's height and weight. It's used to categorise people as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese - whilst there are arguments that it is an antiquated and outdated unit of measurement (for example, it does not take into account the denser substance of muscle mass compared to the lighter substance of fat), and is still commonly used in the medical world as an indicator of the risk of developing diseases associated with higher body fat.
