Body Mass Index

The body mass index (BMI) and the circumference of your waist are generally held to be reliable tools for estimating your level of body fat. With the exception of pregnant women, women who are breast feeding, athletes and body builders, and the chornically ill, the body mass index is reliable for persons between the ages of 19 and 70. Your health risks are greater with a higher BMI, especially if you're a man with a waist measurement above 40 inches or a woman with a waist measurement of 35 inches or more.
