What is Body Mass Index (BMI) and why is it important?
The BMI is used to compare weight to height. It is used to assess the risk of developing health problems associated with being overweight or underweight. It is important to note that BMI is not a diagnostic tool. If you have a BMI that places you at risk, consult a healthcare provider to perform further assessments.
