Your Excess Weight: 0 kg
Your BMI: 0
Your weight is in the Morbidly Obese category because your Body Mass Index is 40 or greater.
Morbid obesity presents very high health risks of diabetes, heart attack, stroke and cancer. Once BMI reaches 40 and above your lifespan is reduced by almost 8-10 years. This is the same risk as being a lifetime smoker.
By taking action and reducing excess weight many of the major adverse health effects can be reversed. Even morbidly obese people can lose extensive excess weight gaining back those potential lost life years. Losing weight reduces your blood pressure, improves blood glucose control (reversing Diabetes progression) and improves the make up of blood lipids, lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke and cancer.

Your weight is in the Obese category because your Body Mass Index is between 30 and 40.
Medical research1,2 shows that obese people have a 60% higher risk of death from all causes, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, liver disease, cancer and respiratory disease compared to healthy weight people (BMI 20-25). The lifespan in obese people by the time they reach 60 is reduced by 2 to 4 years compared to healthy weight people. As you age every additional year saved from improved health is vitally important.
By taking action and reducing excess weight many of the major adverse health effects can be reversed and potential life years lost can be regained.
