This app is convenient for you to calculate your body mass index, and to know if you are normal, overweight, or obese. Body mass index is a value derived from the mass and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height and is expressed in units of kg/m², resulting from mass in kilograms and height in meters. Major adult BMI classifications are underweight (under 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5 to 24.9), overweight (25 to 29.9), and obese (30 or more). Medical Disclaimer: Always seek the guidance of your doctor or other qualified health professional with any questions you may have regarding your health or a medical condition, and before making any medical decisions. Never disregard the advice of a medical professional, or delay in seeking it because of something you have learned from this app.
