The BMI is the only way to figure out questions like how much should I weigh, and especially how much should I weigh for my height. BMI is a direct calculation based mostly on height and weight, and that applies to both women and men. BMI does not at once measure the proportion of subcutaneous fat, but it is a lot more accurate at approximating fat than measuring body weight alone. Dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by that person's height in meters squared will give you the BMI.

A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is classified as large and a BMI of thirty or greater is regarded fat, according to the state institutes of health. So it is important to realize, individuals with a BMI of 25 or higher run a larger likelihood of coronary artery illness, high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, type two diabetes, and other cancers.

One of the issues with using BMI as an answer tool to the question how much should i weigh is that terribly muscular folk may fall into the 'overweight' category when they're basically fit and healthy. Another problem is that folk who have lost muscle mass, like the aged, may be in the healthy weight category when they actually lack nutritive worth. Therefore, further evaluation of a person's weight and health standing is required.

the national Institutes of Health has asked doctors to measure patients' waistline, because BMI doesn't tell you how much of your additional weight is fat and where it is found.
for instance, a girl whose waist measures more than 35 inches and a person whose waist measures more than 40 inches may be in danger for developing health issues. Body fat concentrated in the lower body round the hips, for example looks to be less dangerous.
