Introduction

The BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator helps users determine their BMI using weight in kilograms and height in centimeters. It offers a quick health assessment to identify if someone is underweight, of normal weight, overweight, or obese.

Key formulas:

- Height (m) = Height (cm) / 100

- BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m) × Height (m))

- BMI Categories: • Underweight: BMI < 18.5 • Normal weight: 18.5 ≤ BMI < 24.9 • Overweight: 25 ≤ BMI < 29.9 • Obese: BMI ≥ 30

Conclusion

The component takes weight and height as input, automatically converts height to meters, and calculates the BMI. This is a valuable tool for tracking general health and fitness for individuals and healthcare providers.
