How is bmi calculated?

 Ziad Jamal: I am a young man (23 years) tall 175 cm tall, weighing 106 kg, and this weight classifies me from obese, but I am very happy with my form and my life is stable, and I do not feel that I have a problem, and Do not like to control my food, where I am healthy and do not suffer from any diseases, but I always hear about the health problems of overweight, do I That's true, or are it words that doctors repeat to push people to lose weight?

Dr. Osama Hafni, consultant for physiotherapy and obesity treatment, replies: "Scientific facts indicate that the higher a person's weight is the higher than normal, the more likely he is to have health problems.
Medical studies have created an equation to show the extent of this risk, the obese people who have a bmi factor of more than 30 are suffering from the so-called serious obesity, where they start to have the chances of health problems, while those who have "BMI" have more than 40 these are excessive obesity and "BMI" more than 50 these  Malignant obesity.

The risk rates between these transactions are doubled as an engineering sequence, and the BMI is calculated by dividing the weight in kilograms by square length per meter, so that the "BMI" of the liquid is 34.6 kg / m2, and usually serious health problems begin to appear after 10-30 years of the presence of serious obesity, The number of years is reduced sharply if the weight gain occurs rapidly.

Dr. Osama points out that obesity in the abdominal area is more dangerous than obesity in other areas, in terms of the occurrence of health problems, and to find out this can be measured the circumference of the abdomen by the normal measurement tape, if it is more than 88 cm for women or more than 100 cm for men, the risk increases.
