Two thirds of adult Americans are overweight, and half of these are obese. The degree of overweight is expressed by the Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a calculated relationship between one's height and weight.
A BMI of 18.5-25 is considered normal. A BMI greater than 25 but less than 30 is overweight. A BMI greater than 30 but less than 40 is considered obese. A BMI of 40 or more is morbid obesity.
There is no question that overweight affects health. The higher the degree of obesity, the greater the health risk. To make things worse, frequently there's also a social stigma attached to obesity.
So where do you stand? Look at our BMI CALCULATOR on the right column and punch in your numbers, or punch in hypothetical numbers - a "wish number" or a target number.
