| Calculate Your Body Mass Index
(BMI) Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of
the most accurate ways to determine when extra pounds translate into health
risks. BMI is a measure that takes into account a person’s weight and height
to gauge total body fat in adults. Measure your BMI:
According to federal guidelines: BMI 24 or
less is defined as a healthy weight for an individual’s height.* BMI of
25-29.9 indicates an individual is overweight and is at an increased
health risk.* BMI of 30 or more is an indicator of obesity and that a
reduction in weight is essential in order to improve an individual’s health
risks.* *BMI does not take into account a body builder’s muscular build, so
results can be skewed because muscle weighs more than fat.
