BMI Formula

Expression: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)²

Body Mass Index relates weight to height squared. It is a population-level screening tool — athletes with high muscle mass may show elevated BMI despite low body fat.

Example: 70 kg person, 175 cm tall

Weight = 70 kg, Height = 1.75 m

BMI = 70 / (1.75)² = 70 / 3.0625

Result: BMI = 22.9 (Normal range)
