Understand BMI

Use body-mass index as a screening measure, not a diagnosis.

1. Calculate BMI from weight and height using consistent units.
2. Interpret it alongside age, muscle mass, waist measure, health history and clinician advice.
3. Focus on sustainable behaviors rather than a single target number.
