It attempts to measure if your weight is healthy. BMI is calculated by your weight divided by your height squared.

Hey :)

BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters

BMI is an inexpensive and easy screening method for weight category—underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity.

Hope this helps :)
