What is BMI?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is an indicator used to assess whether a person is within a healthy weight range. It is calculated using the ratio of weight to height and helps determine if someone is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

History of BMI

BMI was developed by Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet in the 19th century, initially used to study the relationship between body weight and health in populations. Today, BMI has become a widely used health assessment tool worldwide.
