Body Mass Index (BMI) is the measure of an individual's body mass, which is calculated by dividing the weight of a person in kilogram to the square of the person's height in meters (kg/m2). It is used to quantify the tissue mass in an individual, and then categorizing them as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
