What is BMI meaning in Gujarati, and how is it calculated? - #12560
I recently went for a health checkup, and the doctor mentioned my BMI is a little high. I know BMI is related to weight and height, but I want to understand its exact meaning. Also, can anyone tell me the BMI meaning in Gujarati? Some people say it’s called "શરીર સામૂહિક સૂચકાંક," but I want to confirm if that’s correct. Apart from just knowing BMI meaning in Gujarati, I also want to understand how to calculate it properly. I checked some online calculators, but I’m still confused about what a healthy BMI range is. Some say below 25 is normal, but others say it depends on body type. What is the correct range for an Indian body type? Also, is BMI really the best way to measure health? I’ve heard that athletes and muscular people sometimes have a high BMI but are still healthy. So, should I rely only on BMI, or are there better ways to check if my weight is in the healthy range? If someone knows the proper Gujarati term for BMI and how to use it for tracking health, please share! Also, if there are better ways to measure fitness, I’d love to know.
