About Obesity (Related to BMI)
Obesity-related health risks include high blood pressure, increased blood fats and cholesterol,
heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers. Obesity can reduce life expectancy and
threaten quality of life. Health risks may multiply or become more severe as your BMI increases.
Overweight, but not Over Fat
Athletes with a large mass of muscle (bodybuilders, weight lifters, heavier wrestlers, football
players, etc.) may be classified as overweight according to the BMI classifications, but they could
still be in the healthy range of body composition. This is the drawback of the BMI classification
scale. It is recommend that you use a means of measuring body composition when assessing
athletes with large amounts of muscle mass.
