BMI Calculator
Description
The BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator is a simple yet effective tool for screening weight categories that may lead to health problems. By analyzing the relationship between your height and weight, it generates a score that categorizes you into Underweight, Normal weight, Overweight, or Obesity. While BMI is not a diagnostic tool for body fatness or health, it provides a general indication of whether your weight falls within a healthy range for your height. This tool is designed to be private and instant—no health data is stored or transmitted, so you can check your metrics with complete confidentiality.
