BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a numerical value derived from a person's height and weight. It is a commonly used tool to assess whether an individual's weight falls within a healthy range relative to their height. The formula to calculate BMI is as follows:
BMI = (weight in kilograms) / (height in meters)^2
For example, if a person weighs 70 kilograms and has a height of 1.75 meters, their BMI would be calculated as:
BMI = 70 / (1.75^2) = 22.86
