Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to determine whether you are in a healthy weight range for your height, and give you an idea about your health risks. A BMI between 20 to 25¹ is considered the healthiest range; high quality research shows this is the range where the risk of dying from all causes is the lowest and is the reference point for all health risk comparisons¹.

Being overweight or obese can lead to a multitude of health issues including increasing your risk of:

Some cancers

Type 2 diabetes

Heart disease

Stroke

Bone & joint problems

Understanding your results and recommended next steps

Your results indicate your weight is well above an ideal range, which is detrimental to your health. By taking action today and reducing excess weight, many of the major adverse health effects can be reversed. Losing weight reduces your blood pressure, improves blood glucose control (reversing diabetes progression) and improves the make-up of blood lipids (fats), lowering your risk of heart attack, stroke and cancer.

What are the dangers of doing nothing? 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.
