How Are Overweight and Obesity Diagnosed?


The most common way to find out whether you're overweight or obese is to figure out your body mass index (BMI). BMI is an estimate of body fat, and it's a good gauge of your risk for diseases that occur with more body fat.

BMI is calculated from your height and weight. You can use the chart below or the Body Mass Index Calculator on the Right Side Column of this blog to figure out your BMI. Or, you health care provider can measure your BMI.

Body Mass Index (BMI) For Adults
Use the table below to learn your BMI.

First, find your height on the far left column. Next, move across the row to find your weight. Weight is measured with underwear but no shoes.
Once you've found your weight, move to the very top of that column. This number is your BMI.

Body Mass Index For Children and Teens
Overweight are obesity are defined differently for children and teens than for adults. Children are still growing, and boys and girls mature at different rates.

BMIs for children and teens compare their heights and weights against growth charts that take age and sex into account. This is called BMI-for-age percentile. A child or teen's BMI-for-age percentile shows how his or her BMI compares with other boys and girls of the same age.

So the BMI Calculator provided on this blog might not be able to give accurate BMI values for children and teens. For more information about BMI-for-age and growth charts for children, see a specialist doctor for children and teens or a pediatrician for children and teens.

Waist Circumference
Health care professionals also may take your waist measurement. This helps screen for the possible health risks related to overweight and obesity in adults.

If you have abdominal obesity and most of your fat is around your waist rather than at your hips, you're at increased risk for coronaryheart disease and type 2 diabetes. The risk goes up with a waist size that's greater than 35 in-+inches for women or greater than 40 inches for men.

You also can measure your waist size. To do so correctly, stand and place a tape measure around your middle, just above your hipbones. Measure your waist just after you breathe out.

Specialist Involved
A primary care doctor (or pediatrician for children and teens) will assess your BMI, waist measurement, and overall health risk. If you're overweight or obese, or if you have a large waist size, your doctor should explain the health risks and find out whether you're interested and willing to lose weight.
