    numerical value derived from weight and height to assess body fat

    Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from an individual's weight and height, calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters (kg/m²). It is commonly used to categorize individuals into different weight status categories, such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity, which can help assess potential health risks related to body weight.
