The Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator is a tool that helps assess whether a person has a healthy body weight based on their height and weight. Here’s a concise summary:

• What is BMI?: BMI is a measurement of a person’s leanness or corpulence. It quantifies tissue mass by considering height and weight.
• How is BMI Calculated?: The calculator computes BMI using the formula: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))^2.
• BMI Categories:
  • Underweight: BMI < 18.5
  • Normal Weight: BMI 18.5 – 25
  • Overweight: BMI 25 – 30
  • Obese Class I: BMI 30 – 35
  • Obese Class II: BMI 35 – 40
  • Obese Class III: BMI > 40
• Age Consideration: The calculator adjusts for age when categorizing BMI.
• Additional Metrics:
  • Healthy BMI Range: 18.5 kg/m² – 25 kg/m²
  • Healthy Weight for Height: Varies based on BMI value.
  • BMI Prime: A normalized version of BMI.
  • Ponderal Index: Another measure related to body mass.
• Use the Calculator: You can input your weight, height, and age to determine your BMI and weight status¹.

Remember that while BMI is useful, it’s an imperfect measure. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice on maintaining a healthy weight.
