Do You Know What Your BMI Is?
If you haven’t checked your BMI recently, now is the time to do it!
Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple measure that helps determine whether you’re at a healthy weight. It’s not just about numbers; a higher BMI is linked to an increased risk of serious health conditions.
For example, a high BMI can put you at risk for:
Heart disease
Type 2 diabetes
High blood pressure
Stroke
Joint problems (like arthritis)
Sleep apnea
Certain cancers
Why BMI Matters Even More for South Asians and Some Other Ethnic Backgrounds
Did you know that for South Asians and some other ethnic groups, the thresholds for what’s considered overweight and obese are lower than for others?
This means the risk starts earlier. For us, an overweight BMI is considered 23 (instead of 25) and obesity starts at 27.5 (instead of 30).
This is because we have a higher risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, even with a lower BMI compared to other populations.
