This situation can lead to severe health risks. The risk of heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure and stroke, is increased manifold in overweight or obese humans.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple correlative measure between a person’s height and weight, which provides a fairly reasonable indication to such risks.
