What Is BMI and Why Does It Matter?
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple and widely used method to estimate your body fat level based on your height and weight. It provides a numerical value that can help determine if you're underweight, at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese.
Although BMI doesn't measure body fat directly, it serves as a useful screening tool to assess potential health risks associated with being under or overweight.
