BMI

Your current BMI is 25.4. For optimum health, we recommend that you try to reduce your BMI so that it falls in the desirable range. This is 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 – or a weight range of 48.9 Kg to 65.8 Kg. Click here for tips on losing weight healthily.

Abdominal Obesity

Your waist measurement is 89cms. This means that you are likely to be carrying too much fat around your midriff, which raises your risk of developing certain diseases. An ideal waist measurement is 102 centimetres (cm) (about 40 inches) or less for men, and 88 cm (about 34½ inches) or less for women.
