What Is The Health Screenig?
The health screening helps you detect diseases before you feel symptoms so that you can treat the diseases early. You can get some of the screening tests in your doctor's office. As some other tests need special equipments, however, you may need to go to the different offices or clinics.
We use the height and weight to calculate the Body Mass Index.
About The BMI (BODY MASS INDEX)
BMI is generally considered the best way to determine if an individual is at a healthy weight. Using BMI is popular because it is easy and quick effective and applies to adult men and women, as well as children. BMI is a useful tool for quickly assessing weight classification.
BMI has limitations. Because it is not a measure of body fatness, very muscular individuals often fall into the overweight category when they are not overly fat. Additionally, BMI may place individuals who have lost muscle into the healthy weight category.
Disadvantages of BMI
As you can see in the picture, you are overweight when your BMI value is over 30.
