Body mass index (BMI) is a measurement of a person's mass (or commonly known as weight) in relation to their height.
BMI was invented back in 1830, and several studies have shown that it can be inaccurate when it comes to general health assessment as it doesn't take body composition, nutrition and lifestyle into consideration.
The formula for determining the BMI is defined as:
\(BMI\): The BMI for adults
\(weight\): the weight measured in kilogram
\(height\): The height measured in centimeter(cm)
The unit for BMI is: \(kilogram/square \text{ } meter \text{ } (kg/m^2)\)
