BMI is a measure used to assess whether a person has an adequate weight in relation to their height. It is calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by height (in meters) squared.

BMI is classified into different categories: Underweight (< 18.5), Normal weight (18.5 - 24.9), Overweight (25 - 29.9), Obesity Class I (30 - 34.9), Obesity Class II (35 - 39.9), and Obesity Class III (≥ 40).

BMI is a useful tool for an initial assessment, but it should not be the only health indicator. Factors such as body composition, muscle mass, age, gender, and other aspects should be considered for a complete evaluation.

BMI does not differentiate between muscle mass and body fat, and may not be suitable for athletes, elderly people, pregnant women, or people with specific body compositions. For a more accurate assessment, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional.

To improve your BMI, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular physical exercise. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
