I'd like the doctors on this forum to explain somethings to me. I noticed my weight had increased from the usual 90kg (what I weighed in about 8-10 years) to 95Kg within some months. This made me calculate my BMI and the result was 26.2 which indicated that i was/am overweight. Now for a slim guy, I find it quite fascinating that I'd be classified as overweight.

Although I reduced my food intake and started some indoor exercises which saw my weight drop to 92.5kg (still overweight), I really need to understand why I am classified overweight just like some other fat person may be classified. Also what is the health implication of being overweight?

RuthlessAnalyst:
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.

francizy:
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!

RuthlessAnalyst:
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:
OK, I will carry out that measurement later. But from my observation, I think I should belong to the <0.85 group.

Thanks once again.

RuthlessAnalyst:
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 as 100cm).

I advice you combine your BMI, WHR, WC and your Lipid indices in defining your Risk for Obesity. Also take note of Your Built
