# About This Calculator

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight, and obesity in adults.

It is defined as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters ($kg/m^2$). While BMI is a useful population-level measure, it is a proxy for body fatness—not a direct measure. It does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or overall body composition.

How To Use

  1. Choose your preferred units (**Metric** or **Imperial**).
  2. Enter your **Weight** and **Height**.
  3. Click **Calculate BMI**.
  4. Check the color-coded result to see which category you fall into.
