Body mass index (BMI) = weight (kg) ÷ height (meters) ÷ height (meters), for example: weight 65 kg, height 150 cm, BMI = 65 ÷ 1.5 ÷ 1.5 = 28.8.
● Body fat percentage: Body fat includes subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Body fat percentage is the percentage of total body fat in body weight.
The standard value of the percentage of body fat is less than 23% for men and less than 25% for women. Exceeding the standard is overweight.
Waist circumference: Commonly known as a beer belly, a large amount of fat accumulates in the abdomen and near the internal organs, which easily increases the risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is also commonly known as the “high three. “: high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids. The National Health Service recommends that a waist circumference of less than 90 cm (35 in) for men and less than 80 cm (31 in) for women is more than abdominal obesity.
Waist circumference measurement location: the midpoint between the highest point of the protruding bones on both sides of the waist and the lower edge of the rib, the horizontal line of this midpoint is the waist circumference of the midline of the abdomen

On average, a 5-unit increase in BMI was associated with a 40% increase in the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
Osteoarthritis: with age, muscle degeneration and atrophy gradually lead to discomfort in movement. A high BMI will increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis. Average overweight and obesity increase the risk approximately 2.5 times and 4.5 times, respectively. And for every 5 units increase in BMI, the risk of disease increases by 35%.
Cancer: Fat cells can cause chronic inflammation of the body’s tissues, and tissues that have been in a state of inflammation for a long time easily turn into cancer cells.
