The more you weigh, the more likely you are to suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea, and certain cancers. On the other hand, a healthy weight has many benefits: It helps you to lower your risk for developing these problems, helps you to feelgood about yourself, and gives you more energy to enjoy life.  \nWhat Is Your Risk for Weight-Related Diseases?  \nBody Mass Index (BMI)  \nYour BMI accurately estimates your total body fat. And, the amount offat that you carry is a good indicator of your risk for a variety of diseases.  \nThere are two ways to check your BMI:  \n■ Use the BMI chart on page 3. First, find your height in the left-hand column. Then, follow it over until you find your weight. The number on the top of that column is your BMI.  \n■ Use the BMI calculator on the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI’s) Web site: [http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/](http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/)  \nOnce you know your BMI, check Box 1 to see what the number means. Although BMI can be used for most men and women, it does have some limitations:  \n■ It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build.  \n■ It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle.  \nWaist Circumference Measurement  \nYour waist circumference is also an important measurement to help you figure out your overall health risks. If most of your fat is around your waist, then you are more at risk for heart disease and diabetes. This risk increases with a waist measurement that is:  \n■ Greater than 35 inches for women  \n■ Greater than 40 inches for men  \nOther Risk Factors for Heart Disease  \nIf you have other risk factors for heart disease (shown in Box 2) and are overweight or obese, then you will be at greater risk for health problems. Your doctor will check your BMI, waist circumference, and other risk factors for heart disease:  \n■ If you are overweight (BMI 25–29.9), do not have a high waist circumference, and have less than two risk factors, then it’s important that you not gain any more weight.  \n■ If you are overweight (BMI 25–29.9) or have a high waist circumference and have two or more risk factors, then it is important for you to lose weight.  \n■ If you are obese (BMI ≥ 30), then it is important for you to lose weight.  \nEven a small weight loss (just 5–10 percent of your current weight) will help to lower your risk of developing weight-related diseases.  \nU.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES  \nNational Institutes of Health  \nNational Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute  \nBox 1—What Does Your BMI Mean?  \nNormal weight: BMI = 18.5–24.9  \nGood for you! Try not to gain weight.  \nOverweight: BMI = 25–29.9  \nDo not gain any weight, especially if your waist circumference is high. You need to lose weight if you have two or more risk factors for heart disease and are overweight or have a high waist circumference.  \nObese: BMI = 30 or greater  \nYou need to lose weight. Lose weight slowly—about 1/2 to 2 pounds a week. See your doctor or a nutritionist if you need help.  \nBox 2—Risk Factors  \nBesides being overweight or obese, here are other risk factors to consider:  \n■ Cigarette smoking  \n■ High blood pressure (hypertension)  \n■ High LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol)  \n■ Low HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol)  \n■ High triglycerides  \n■ High blood glucose (sugar)  \n■ Family history of premature heart disease  \n■ Physical inactivity  \nHow To Lose Weight and Maintain It  \nChanging the way you approach weight loss can help you be more successful at losing it. Most people who try to lose weight focus on one thing: weight loss. However if you set goals, begin to eat healthy foods, become more physically active, and learn how to change behaviors, then you maybe more successful at losing weight.
