Weight-Related Health Risk Factors

Being overweight (BMI > 25) is not good for long term health. Being obese (BMI > 30) and carrying significant excess body fat is worse. But excess weight and excess body fat are only part of any weight/health risk assessment. Other weight-related risk factors include the following:

Additional Weight-Related Risk Factors

• Your fat distribution. Abdominal fat is a more serious health risk.
• Your family history of heart disease.
• Your family history of weight-related health problems.
• Your age. Male older than 45 years; or a postmenopausal female.
• Your blood pressure.
• Your level of blood fats (high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides).
• Your blood sugar levels.
• Your breathing.
• Signs of arthritis in Hips or knees.
• Whether you smoke.
• Whether you take sufficient exercise.
• Your general eating habits.

All these weight-related risk factors will form part of any weight/health assesment.
