Body Mass Index

8K9K187

Body mass index (BMI) is your body’s basic weight‑to‑height ratio—a quick, if imperfect, snapshot of overall body composition that flags underweight, overweight, or obesity risk. Research shows that variations near genes regulating appetite, energy balance, and fat storage (like FTO, MC4R, and TMEM18) can influence in...
