Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI is calculated as BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)2

It is a widely used metric for categorizing weight into five classifications:

- Underweight: BMI under 18.5
- Healthy Weight: BMI 18.5 - 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25 - 29.9
- Obesity: BMI 30 - 39.9
- Severe Obesity: BMI 40 or over

While BMI serves as a useful screening tool, it does not account for various lifestyle factors such as stress, family history, and gender. For a more comprehensive assessment, please consult your local healthcare provider.
