Calculate your Body Mass Index
BMI is a screening tool that measures body fat based on height and weight, helping assess potential health risks. A BMI in the normal range (18.5-24.9) is generally associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health conditions. Being underweight (BMI < 18.5) may indicate malnutrition or other health issues, while overweight (BMI 25-29.9) increases risk of developing chronic diseases. Obesity (BMI ≥ 30) significantly raises the risk of serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Remember that BMI is just one indicator and doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition - consult healthcare professionals for personalized health advice.
