If you are carrying excess weight, you are storing up trouble

These dangers are identified with overweight and obese adults

People with a BMI of greater than 25 (overweight) or whose BMI is greater than 30 (obese) have an intensified risk for many diseases and health conditions, including,:

• Hypertension (inflated blood pressure)
• Coronary heart disease (plaque build-up along the inner walls of the arteries of the heart)
• Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)
• Sleep apnea and respiratory problems (problems breathing during sleep, chest and lung problems)
• Stroke (loss of brain function due to a disturbance in the blood supply to the brain)
• Dyslipidemia (elevated LDL cholesterol, reduced HDL cholesterol)
• Diabetes mellitus type 2 (high blood sugar)
• Gallbladder disease (gallstones, disruption of bile functions )
• Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)

Fundamentals

Body Mass Index Prime is method of using the results of the BMI calculations to quickly and easily rank a person into a category. Eg:

• BMI Prime less than 0.74 = Underweight.
• BMI Prime greater than 0.74 and less than 1.00 = Optimal weight.
• BMI Prime greater than 1 = Overweight

Bmi is a variant of the Quetelet index. If you have a Prime of less than 0.74, you are underweight. If your prime is more than 0.74 and less than 1.00, your weight is ideal. If your BMI prime is more than 1 you are probably overweight.

The maths

This is how BMI is calculated

• BMI = weight(kilograms) / height² (metres²)         (Metric Units)
• BMI = 703 . weight(pounds) / height² (inches²)         (Imperial Units)

BMI limitations

BMI categories are generally regarded as a satisfactory tool for measuring whether sedentary individuals are underweight, overweight or obese with various exceptions, such as: athletes, children, the elderly, and the infirm.
