Body mass index (BMI) is a figure obtained by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters, which is a commonly used international standard to measure obesity and health.
Extended data:
Standard weight is a sign that reflects and measures a person's health. Being too fat and too thin is not good for your health, nor will it give you a sense of bodybuilding. A large number of statistical data of different body types show that the ideal and simple index reflecting normal weight can be expressed by the relationship between height and weight.
The MI value is just a reference value. To truly measure whether a patient is obese, the body fat rate is more accurate than the body mass index, and the waist height ratio is better than the body fat rate, but the best perspective is visceral fat. Therefore, the role of body mass index has gradually changed, from medical use to mass weight loss index.
Body mass index (BMI) is a figure obtained by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters. It is a commonly used international standard to measure obesity and health. When we need to compare and analyze the influence of a person's weight on the health of people of different heights, the body mass index is a neutral and reliable indicator.
