Body Mass Index

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement tool used to calculate an individual's body fat based on height and weight. It's a helpful tool to assess whether a person is underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese. BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight (in kilograms) by their height squared (in meters).

Carepatron has made it simple for you to use our free BMI template. All you have to do is download the template, enter your patient's height and weight, and calculate their BMI. You can use the BMI template to track your patient's BMI over time and determine whether they are maintaining a healthy weight.

The frequency of tracking a patient's BMI will depend on their individual health needs. In general, tracking a patient's BMI at least once a year is recommended to monitor their weight and assess their risk for health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. However, if a patient is at risk for obesity or has a history of weight-related health problems, you may need to track their BMI more frequently.
