About Our BMI Calculator
Welcome to our BMI Calculator – a simple, reliable way to check your body mass index and better understand your health.
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening tool that estimates body fatness by comparing your weight to your height. First introduced in the 1830s by Adolphe Quetelet, a Belgian mathematician, BMI has become a standard health metric used worldwide.
The formula is straightforward: BMI = weight (kg) / [height (m)]².
