BMI Table

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure based on height and weight as it relates to body fat, and can be used to determine how much risk a person has to develop certain health problems because of his or her weight. As a point of reference, a person with a BMI of 27 is approximately 20 percent overweight. The higher the BMI, the greater the risk a person has to develop additional health problems.

Underweight	< 18.5
Normal	18.5 -- 24.9
Overweight	25 -- 29.9
Obesity I	30 -- 34.9
Obesity II	35 -- 39.9
Extremely Obese III	40 >

Please Note: Only people with a BMI of 27.0 or greater qualify for prescription weight loss drugs.
