Body Mass Index (BMI) ek tool hai jo kisi aadmi ke weight aur height ke hisab se body fat ka estimation deta hai. Ise aam taur par kisi aadmi ke weight status aur body weight se jude health risks ko categorize karne ke liye use karte hain.

Ye raha BMI calculate karne ka tarika:

Formula:

$$ BMI = \frac{weight , (kg)}{height^2 , (m^2)} $$

Steps:

  1. Apna weight kilograms (kg) mein napo:

    • Ek reliable scale use karo aur bina bhari kapde pahne apna weight napo.

  2. Apni height meters (m) mein napo:

    • Ek flat wall ke against khade ho jao aur apne sir ke top ko mark karo. Phir, floor se mark tak height napo.

  3. Apne measurements ko formula mein plug karo:

    • Apni height ka square karo (usse apne aap se multiply karo).
    • Apne weight ko squared height value se divide karo.

The result tumhara BMI hai.

Categories BMI ke hisab se:

  • Underweight: BMI 18.5 se kam
  • Normal weight: BMI 18.5 se 24.9
  • Overweight: BMI 25 se 29.9
  • Obesity: BMI 30 ya usse jyada

Yeh samajhna bahut jaruri hai ki BMI ek screening tool hai, diagnostic tool nahi. Isse pata chal sakta hai ki kisi aadmi mein excess body fat hai ya nahi, lekin yeh body fat ko directly nahi napta. Factors jaise muscle mass, bone density, aur overall body composition BMI ko influence kar sakte hain. Hamesha apni health ki comprehensive understanding ke liye ek healthcare professional se consult karo.
