Try New Image's exclusive, dynamic Body Mass Index calculator. For
adults, a healthy weight is defined as the appropriate weight in relation
to height. This ratio of weight to height is known as the body mass index
(BMI). People who are overweight might have too much body weight for their
height. People who are obese almost always have a large amount of body
fat in relation to their height. There are exceptions, of course. Big
athletes with lots of muscle might have a BMI over 30.0 but would not
be considered obese from the perspective of health risk. Did
you know that most insurance companies will reimburse you for medically
managed weight loss visits? |
