How BMI Affects Your Overall Health

Speciality: Bariatrics


Speaker:

Dr. KATHIRVELU RAMARAJ | Consultant Bariatric Surgeon

Description:

Welcome to our podcast. Today, we’re exploring how BMI, or Body Mass Index, impacts your overall health. BMI is a simple calculation using your height and weight, giving an estimate of body fat. While it’s a useful screening tool, it doesn’t account for muscle mass, bone density, or distribution of fat. A high BMI may indicate increased risk for health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. On the other hand, a low BMI may signal malnutrition or underlying health problems. Remember, BMI is just one piece of the puzzle. For a complete picture, consider other factors like diet, activity levels, and family history. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
