Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person’s weight in kilograms (or pounds) divided by the square of height in meters (or feet). A high BMI can indicate high body fatness. BMI screens for weight categories that may lead to health problems, but it does not diagnose the body fatness or health of an individual.
Detailed explanation-2: -The only instruments necessary to measure your BMI are a scale, a tape measure–to determine your height–and a calculator. If you’re unsure exactly how to estimate your BMI, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will most likely calculate your BMI every time you go in for a check-up or a sick visit.
