BMI: Body mass index

It measures your age, height, and weight to determine if you're healthy.

This method is a good gauge for a general idea on one's health, but each person is complex. So using this method is not an exact science.

Answer:

BMI is a measure of body size. it combines the person's weight with their height.

Explanation:

A BMI measurement can give an idea about whether a person has the correct weight for their height. Too much weight can lead to a variety of health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular problems.

A too low weight can increase the risk of malnutrition, osteoporosis, and anemia.

BMI does not measure body fat directly, and it does not account for age, sex, or muscle mass in adults.

However, it uses standard weight status categories that can help doctors to track weight status across populations and identify potential issues in individuals.

Pros and cons :

Calculating BMI is easy to use because it doesn't require expensive equipment or a clinical setting to measure. It is just a knowledge of your height and weight. And it is useful for most people to get a general idea of your disease risk. BMI isn't perfect, however, it is beneficial in some circumstances. It has some major limitations if you're trying to use it to gauge your individual disease risk.
