BMI
Your current BMI is 24.3 Congratulations! For optimum health, we recommend that you keep your weight within this range and avoid weight gain of more than 5 kg (11 lb). For tips on ensuring that your diet is as balanced as it can possibly be, see the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation’s guide, Nutrition in a Nutshell.
Abdominal Obesity
Your waist measurement is 97cms. 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.
