What is the Body Mass Index?
Body mass index (BMI) is an estimate of the amount of fat in your body. Having this value above normal means that there is a high amount of fat in the body and poses a risk to your health.

It is considered normal for adults to have a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9. Obesity is defined as the excess of weight if the value of VKI is higher than 25 and higher than 30. Excess weight and obesity cause health problems that reduce the quality of life and quality of life. Likewise, low VKI pose a risk to your health. VKI less than 18.5 points to weight loss. In these cases, the doctor should always be consulted.
It should not be forgotten that the body mass index is an average value. In some cases, VKI may not accurately reflect the amount of fat in your body. For example, since athletes have a high muscle mass, a high VKI is not a sign of overweight or obesity.
