Analyzing Weight Loss
Body Mass Index
Determining your body mass index (BMI) can estimate how much extra body fat you have and will determine if you are in a category that puts you at risk for certain health risks. Obesity has been linked with the increased risk of developing such conditions as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease.
 |
BMI cannot be properly ascertained if you are pregnant, breast feeding, if you are a competitive athlete, body builder or if you are a chronically ill patient. People younger than eighteen will not get a proper estimate from a BMI chart because they are not finished growing. The higher your BMI, the more likely it is that you are at a health risk.
Find your height in the left-hand column. Move across the row to the given weight. The number at the top of the column is the BMI for that height and weight.
