Body Mass Index (BMI)

The Body Mass Index system is a measure of body fat based off height and weight. The higher your BMI, the higher your risk for certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers. However, the BMI system does have limitations. It doesn’t take into account the person’s waist, chest or hip measurements, and therefore may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build, and also underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle. Experts say that BMI underestimates the amount of body fat in overweight/obese people and overestimates it in lean or muscular people.

BMI is calculated using your weight (kilograms) divided by the square of your height (meters) or your weight (pounds) times 703, divided by the square of your height in inches. You can use this website to calculate your BMI for you.

Basic BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5 (in some countries, health authorities say anything below 20 is underweight)
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Some health professionals suggest that calculating your BMI is the best way to decide whether you are at a healthy body weight. Others say that BMI is faulty because it does not account for muscle mass, and that waist-hip ratio is better.

Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)

A waist-hip measurement is the ratio of the circumference of your waist to that of your hips. To measure your ratio, use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of your hips at the widest part of your buttocks. Then measure your waist at the smaller circumference of your natural waist, usually just above the belly button. You can then enter that information into a website calculator.

According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, if most of your fat is around your waist rather than at your hips, you’re at a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This risk goes up with a waist size that is greater than 35 inches for women or greater than 40 inches for men.

WHR does not accurately measure a person’s total body fat percentage, or their muscle-to-fat ratio. However, many experts believe it is a better predictor of ideal weight and health risks than BMI.

Basic WHR Measurements

Male
Less than 0.9 – low risk of cardiovascular health problems
0.9 to 0.99 – moderate risk of cardiovascular health problems
1 or over – high risk of cardiovascular problems

Female
Less than 0.8 – low risk of cardiovascular health problems
0.8 to 0.89 – moderate risk of cardiovascular health problems
0.9 or over – high risk of cardiovascular problems

Weight to Height Ratio (WHtR)

Dr. Margaret Ashwell, former science director of the British Nutrition Foundation, found after analyzing several studies involving approximately 300,000 people that waist-to-height ratio may also be better at predicting future heart disease and diabetes risk than BMI. She believes that keeping your waist circumference to less than half your height can help increase life expectancy.

For example:

  • A man 6′ (72 inches, 183 cm) tall, should keep his waist measurement below 36 inches (91 cm).
  • A woman 5’4”, i.e. 64 inches (163 cm) tall, should keep her waist measurement below 32 inches (81 cm).

Body Fat Percentage

Body fat percentage is the weight of your fat divided by your total weight. The result indicates your essential fat as well as storage fat. Calculating body fat percentage is the best way to gauge fitness level because it is the only measurement that includes the body’s true composition.

There are various ways of calculating a body fat percentage. None can give a 100% accurate figure, but the estimates are accepted as fairly close. Your gym and doctor most likely have devices that can tell you what your body fat percentage is. We do body fat percentage readings at Wimberly Training using skinfold calipers.

Essential Fat: fat we need to survive. Women require a higher percentage than men.

Storage Fat: consists of fat accumulation in adipose tissue, some of which protects our internal organs in the chest and abdomen.

Total Body Fat Percentage: essential fat plus storage fat.

The American Council on Exercise recommends the following percentages:

Essential Fat:
Women 10-12%
Men 2-4%

Total Fat:

Athletes
Women 14-20%
Men 6-13%

Non-athletes, but fit
Women 21-24%
Men 14-17%

Acceptable
Women 25-31%
Men 18-25%

Overweight
Women 32-41%
Men 26-37%

Obese
Women 42% +
Men 38% +

The most accurate reading you can get is by finding out your body fat percentage.
