Body Mass Index (BMI)

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of whether you are at a healthy weight. It relates your weight to your height and is closely associated with measures of body fat. The higher the BMI, the greater the risk of developing health problems.

BMI is one of the tools healthcare providers use to assess a person's risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, or other health problems.

BMI for Adults

For adults over 20 years old, BMI falls into one of the following categories:

To determine the BMI that is appropriate for your body, consult your physician.

What should I do if my BMI measurement is too high?

If your BMI is between 25 and 30 and you are otherwise healthy, try to avoid gaining more weight, and look into healthy ways to lose weight and increase physical activity. Talk to your health care provider about losing weight if:

• Your BMI is 30 or above, OR
• Your BMI is between 25 and 30 AND you have:
  • (a) two or more of the health problems listed below, OR
  • (b) a family history of heart disease or diabetes.

How does extra weight affect my health?

Extra weight can put you at higher risk for some health problems such as:

• Type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar)
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease and stroke
• Some types of cancer
• Sleep apnea (when breathing stops for short periods during sleep)

Contact your health care provider for more information.

BMI Limitations

Because BMI does not show the difference between fat and muscle, it is not the only predictor of a weight issue that could lead to health problems. For example, someone with a lot of muscle (such as a bodybuilder) may have a BMI in the unhealthy range but still be healthy. BMI also may not accurately reflect body fatness in people who are under 5 feet (1.5m) or in older people, who tend to lose muscle mass as they age. But for most people, BMI is a reliable way to tell if your weight is putting your health at risk.

Example: A person who is 6'3" (1.9m) and weighs 220 lbs (100 kg) has a BMI of 27.

Your Healthy Lifestyle

Health and fitness isn't just about counting calories and cutting fat out of your diet. It is about a balanced combination of eating right and exercising. Neither dieting nor exercising alone will give you the kind of results you get when they are used together. To achieve a healthy lifestyle, you must set realistic fitness goals and reduce the number of calories you take in, regardless of whether they come from foods high in protein, carbohydrates, etc.

When you go on a diet, you may lose weight, but you'll also lose beneficial muscle and bone tissue. Instead, reduce the number of calories you are taking in by eating more healthful foods, and include exercise in your regular routine to lose weight faster by burning fat. Exercise makes you feel better; it helps improve circulation, relieves stress, and speeds up your metabolism. So, create a plan of exercise and diet appropriate for your needs, body type, and general health. Soon you'll see how this powerful combination makes it easier to look and feel your best.

Helpful Eating Tips

• Make sure no more than 30% of your daily calories come from fat, with no more than 10% saturated fat.
• Never skip meals! Instead, eat sensible portions at every meal and use small, low-calorie snacks between meals to help control hunger.
• Learn to read food labels and follow recommended serving sizes.
• Balance your calorie intake with your activity level. Eat less on low activity days than you do on days where you enjoy rigorous exercise.

Helpful Exercise Tips

• Set goals. Write down what you want to achieve in the short and long term.
• Make exercise a habit. Choose a time every day – even 30 minutes – and stick to it.
• Vary your workout. Mix up your activities to avoid burnout.
• Recruit a friend! Working out as a team keeps you both motivated.
