BMI is simply the relationship between a person’s weight and height. It is useful in determining the degree to which a person’s body weight may impact their risk for disease or death. Common conditions which can be caused by overweight and obesity include:

• Diet
• Physical Activity
• Waist Circumference
• Blood Pressure
• Blood Sugar Level
• Cholesterol Level
• Family History of Disease

How to read your BMI

 

BMI Weight Status    Below 18.5 Underweight    18.5–24.9 Normal    25.0–29.9 Overweight    30.0 and 35 Obese    40+ Morbidly Obese

Talk to your doctor about your BMI to see if you are at increased risk. A small weight loss (as little as 10% of your body weight) may help lower your risk. If your BMI is greater than 35, talk to your doctor about the possibility of a referral to a comprehensive program for weight loss management.
