BMI 



Your BMI is 
45 



BMI (body mass index) is a 
widely used international 
standard that measures 
height to weight ratio to 
determine obesity. BMI is 
expressed as: 



BMI= Boc| y weight (kg) 
[Body height (m)] 2 



NOTE The BMI index is only a general indicator of overall health. The range may 
vary depending on your body type and composition. Consult with your doctor to gain 
a full understanding of your health condition. 

HOW TO INTERPRET BMI 

The result is a value (such as 22) that corresponds to the four BMI ranges: 
underweight, recommended, overweight, and obese. The ranges are based on a 
comprehensive clinical study of the averages for thousands of people for whom BMI 
was calculated. BMI can be used to estimate potential health risks. Based on this 
research, it has been shown that the health risk for people with a BMI of 22 is lowest. 



HEALTH INDICATION 


BMI RANGE 


DESCRIPTION 


Underweight 

t 


Less than 20.0* 


Your body weight is lower 
than average. 

Work to maintain a healthy, 
regular diet and exercise 
plan to build up your health. 


Asian BMI: Less than 18.5 


Recommended 

* 


20.0 to 25.0* 


You are at the recommended 
level. 

Maintain a balanced diet and 
exercise routine to stay at the 
present level. 


Asian BMI: 18.5 to 23.0 


Overweight 

t 


25.1 to 29.9* 


Your body weight may be 
above normal. 

Exercise more and maintain 
a healthy diet to lower your 
risk for serious illness. 


Asian BMI: 23.0 to 29.9 


Obese 

t 


30.0 or greater* 


You may be at risk for heart 
disease, high blood pressure, 
and other illnesses. 

Consult your doctor to create 
a proper health and fitness 
plan. 



* Asians have a separate BMI range due to their different body composition. 

NOTE Consult your physician before you begin a new diet or exercise program. 
NOTE BMI should not be used as a health risk indicator for the following groups: 



GROUP 


REASON 


Children and teenagers 


BMI ranges are based on adult heights. 


Athletes and body builders 


BMI does not differentiate between fat and 
muscle and can therefore be inaccurate for 
people with high muscle density. 


Pregnant or nursing women 


This group may experience elevated fat- 
levels as part of the pregnancy. 


People over age 65 


This group may experience elevated fat 
levels as part of the aging process.
