Does BMI measure body fat?

No. BMI uses only weight और height, so it cannot distinguish muscle, fat, bone mass, या fat distribution.

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2

BMI compares weight के साथ height squared. It is a screening metric for adults, not a direct measure of body composition या स्वास्थ्य status.

1Convert height to meters और weight to kilograms if imperial units are selected.
2Square height in meters.
3Divide body weight in kilograms by squared height.
4Compare परिणाम के साथ adult BMI bands: under 18.5, 18.5-24.9, 25-29.9, और 30 या higher.

Adult BMI classification. Not a diagnosis or a child growth assessment.
