Body Mass Index Explained
To work on solutions, let’s first understand the term Body Mass Index or BMI, which is commonly used as a factor to decide if a person is obese, overweight, or underweight.
BMI is the measurement of a person’s weight with respect to his/her height. If the BMI score is more, you generally have more fat stored in the body.
A normal BMI score is between 18.5 and 24.9. If you have a BMI that falls in this range, your weight is considered normal for your height.
