francizy: BMI alone is not the only parameter use for measuring Obesity One of its disadvantage is that it can interpret people with heavy muscle mass as Obese. other Parameter you can use include: Abdominal circumference, waist hip ratio or your Lipid indices. |

RuthlessAnalyst: Hmmm, am learning new stuff. So does this mean that am within normal weight for someone of my size? Because am not even fat and I don't have a pot belly. Sorry, please do expound on the waist-hip ratio. I've not yet done a lipid profile test before now though. Thanks loads! |

francizy: It's very possible that you're within normal range As i said earlier one of the Demerits of BMI is that it cannot be use to define obesity in people with heavy muscle mass like Body Builders, thus other parameter is needed to interpret their weight Waist-Hip ratio, WHR is the Ratio of the circumference of the waist and Hip Usually should be <0.85 in Men. > 0.95 signifies an increase risk for cardiovascular complication. Ratio of >0.95 is usually seen in Abdominal Obesity which is very commonly associated with the Cardiovascular risk mentioned above

francizy: You can also use your waist circumference to define Obesity: normal waist circumference for Men should be <102 cm (Though some centers put their reference range at 100 cm). I advice you combine your BMI, WHR, WC and your Lipid indices in defining your Risk for Obesity. Also take note of Your Built |
