BMI result
Your Healthy Weight Range is
Obesity presents several health risks, and heart conditions and high blood pressure are some of the biggest culprits that, in turn, lower life expectancy. As a useful tool to indicate overweight or obesity, BMI measures body fat through a simple ratio of height to weight. BMI is age-dependent, but it is the same for both males and females. Body proportions and muscle mass are not part of the equation, so for people with a large bone structure or a large muscle mass, BMI may not be a precise indicator of obesity.
Recommended weight loss procedures
BMI values between 18.5 and 24 are considered normal weight. Your BMI of 32 falls into the category considered obese. While commonly people do not consider weight loss procedures at this BMI, in the case of an existing health problem that can be linked to obesity, chances are that lap band procedure. gastric plication or gastric sleeve may have great benefits. This is especially true if a well-balanced diet and a regular exercise routine have failed to bring the desired weight loss results.
Lap band procedure is usually recommended for BMI over 35, but the presence of one or more co-morbidity associated with obesity makes people with BMI values over 30 candidates for the procedure. The gastric band that is placed onto the upper part of the stomach has the role of drastically limiting stomach capacity, making it easy to lose weight. Lap band procedure is reversible, presents decreased risks for complication and is relatively simple.
