What Does BMI Stand For?
BMI stands for Body Mass Index
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a numerical value calculated from an individual's weight and height, used to assess body fat and classify individuals into categories such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. It is a useful screening tool for identifying potential health risks related to body weight but does not directly measure body fat or account for factors such as muscle mass, age, or gender.
