This is an important chart for everyone to keep just to trace where our BMI is going! Up or Down!
The International Obesity Task Force also came up with standards to follow for the Asia Pacific Region which calculates a lower BMI for the Asian population as overweight and obese.
Why do we need to know our BMI? Because it calculates your health risk. And more importantly, this tracks your progress in losing weight and therefore for every one point drop in BMI translates to a concomitant reduction for its associated disease risk especially early mortality…. Studies have shown that: if you’re obese your risk to die early is high!
