This chart will help determine body weight, which is considered normal from a medical point of view and is typical for healthy people.
How to use?
Find the mark that matches your height. Horizontally, see what weight interval is recommended for you.
Blue color – weight too low, exhaustion.
Green color – normal weight.
Yellow color – excess weight, but without systemic health complications.
Orange color – obesity, you need to consult a doctor.
Red color – obesity with damage to internal organs.
If you want to understand what your body weight is normal for your height, then find the intersection point of height and body weight and see which zone it falls into.
What does body mass index tell you?
If the body mass index is less than 20, then this indicates exhaustion of the body. If these indicators occur, it is necessary to undergo a doctor's examination. There is a high probability of anemia and other diseases.
A body mass index of 25-30 indicates excess body weight, but with these indicators you can bring your weight back to normal with the help of diets.
A body mass index of 30-40 means obesity, and you should consult a doctor. More often, with such an index, it is not possible to lose weight only through diets; the use of medications is necessary.
A body mass index of more than 40 is a serious problem that threatens the patient’s life, as it indicates damage to a number of organs. As a rule, only surgical intervention can help a person in this situation. Laparoscopic gastric reduction is performed.
