What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

BMI is a clinical screening metric of body fatness based on an individual's weight and height, standardized by the World Health Organization.

Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation

BMI = Weight (kg) / [Height (m)]²

Body mass divided by height squared in metric units.

Worked Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1

Person weighing 70 kg at 175 cm height

Solution: BMI = 22.9 kg/m² (Normal Healthy Weight)
• 70 / (1.75)² = 70 / 3.0625 = 22.86 kg/m²

Common Real-World & Academic Use Cases
