WHAT DOES MY BMI VALUE MEAN? Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index of weight-
for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity
in adults. This scale calculates your BMI value for you. The BMI categories shown in
the chart and table below are recognised bythe WHO (World Health Organisation) and
can be used to interpret your BMI value. Your BMI category can be identified using
the table below.
BMI Category BMI Value Meaning Health Risk Based Solely On BMI
< 18.5 Underweightt Moderate
18.6-24.9 Normal Low
25-29.9 Overweight Moderate
30+ Obese High
IMPORTANT: If the chart/table shows that you are outside of a ‘normal’ healthy
weight range, consult your doctor before taking any action. BMI classifications are for
adults (age 20+ years) only.

BODY FAT -WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The human body is made up of, amongst other
things, a percentage of fat. This is vital for a healthy, functioning body - it cushions
joints and protects vital organs, helps regulate body temperature, stores vitamins
and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce. However, too much body fat
or indeed too little body fat can be damaging to your health. It is dicult to gauge
how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the
mirror. This is why it is important to measure and monitor your body fat percentage.
Body fat percentage gives you a better measure of fitness than weight alone – the
composition of your weight loss could mean you are losing muscle mass rather
than fat - you could still have a high percentage of fat even when a scale indicates
‘normal weight’.

BODY WATER -WHY MEASURE IT? Body water is the single most important
component of body weight. It represents over half of your total weight and almost
two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle). Water performs a
number of important roles in the body: All the cells in the body, whether in the skin,
glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else, can only function properly if they have
enough water. Water also plays a vital part in regulating the body’s temperature
balance, particularly through perspiration. The combination of your weight and fat
measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body hydration level could be
insucient for healthy living.
