FITNESS TALK WITH SAPIO: 

ARE YOU OVERWEIGHT? KNOW YOUR BMI!!


Are you overweight? There isnt any better way to determine this other than by calculating your BMI (Body Mass Index). BMI is a measuring tool which takes into account a person’s weight and height to gauge total body fat in adults. Someone with a BMI of 26 to 27 is about 20 percent overweight, which is generally believed to carry moderate health risks. A BMI of 30 and higher is considered obese. The higher the BMI, the greater the risk of developing additional health problems.



The formula for calculating BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. If height has been measured in centimeters, divide it by 100 to convert this to meters. Thus
weight (kg) / height (m^2)

where kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m^2 is their height in metres squared.
For example: Your weight = 68 kg / Your height = 1.65 m (165 cm)
BMI Calculation: 68 ÷ 1.652 = 24.98


When using English measurements, pounds should be divided by inches squared. This should then be multiplied by 703 to convert from lbs/inches2 to kg/m2. Thus
703 x weight (lbs) / [height (in)]2
For example, when calculating the BMI for weight of 154lbs and 71 inches;
154lb ÷ 71in = 2.16955
2.169 ÷ 71 = 0.030
0.03055 × 703 = 21.48


A healthy weight is considered to be a BMI of 24 or less. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. A BMI of 30 and above is considered obese. Individuals who fall into the BMI range of 25 to 34.9, and have a waist size of over 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women, are considered to be at especially high risk for health problems.

Being overweight/ obese exposes one to a myriad of health challenges such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers. Having hypertension, low HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), high LDL (bad cholesterol), high blood sugar, family history of heart disease, etc in addition to being overweight/obese increases one's chances of coming down with the aforementioned conditions. 


Note that individuals with heavy muscle mass (body builders) can have a high BMI, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are overweight or obese. The BMI is high simply because their muscle mass translates to a higher weight in kilos/lbs.


I am sorry that this write-up might scare you, but its necessary that we understand the risks involved, so as to turn a new leaf. From my next post, we would focus on how we can achieve a healthy weight and lead the best possible lives. Have a great day!!
