BMI RANGE DESCRIPTION
Your body weight may be
above normal. Increase
your exercise and work
out a diet plan to lower
your risk for serious
illness.
At this level, you may be at
30.0 or greater
risk for heart disease, high
blood pressure, and other
illnesses. Consult with your
doctor to develop a proper
health and fitness plan.
REASON
BMI ranges are only based on
adult heights.
BMI does not differentiate
between fat and muscle, thus
making it inaccurate for persons
with high muscle volumes.
This group generates
naturally high fat reserves
as part of the pregnacy.
Fat reserves naturally tend to
be higher with older persons.
