BMI
The body mass index (BMI) is an important index for relating weight to height. It is a measurement that is a weight-to-height ratio. It is a better way to see whether our weight is proportionate to our height. BMI, formerly known as the Quetelet index, is a metric used to assess an individual's nutritional status. A high BMI can indicate a high level of body fat. Indeed, knowing our BMI can help us determine any health risks we may face if it is above the healthy range. Adults with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 are classified as overweight; an adult with a BMI of 30 or above is classified as obese; a BMI less than 18.5 is considered underweight, and a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy.
