Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating Body Mass Index (BMI)?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) BMI = kg/m².
· The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used method to assess whether a person has a healthy weight for a given height.
· The formula for calculating BMI is:
BMI=Weight in kilograms/Height in meters2 ​
· This means you divide the person’s weight in kilograms (kg) by the square of their height in meters (m).
Additional Information:
· BMI is used to categorize individuals based on their body weight relative to height, typically in the following categories:
· Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
· Normal weight: BMI 18.5–24.9
· Overweight: BMI 25–29.9
· Obesity: BMI 30 or greater
· BMI does not account for factors such as muscle mass, bone density, or distribution of fat, so it should not be used as the sole indicator of a person’s overall health.
