In the Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation, "mass" refers to an individual's body weight, typically measured in kilograms (kg). BMI is determined by dividing a person's weight by the square of their height in meters. This measurement helps categorize individuals into different weight status categories, such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, based on their relative weight to height. It serves as a simple screening tool for assessing potential health risks associated with body weight.
