Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
You Body Mass Index (BMI) is around 23 kg/m2, which falls within the normal range of 18 - 25 for healthy adults. However, BMI is not the sole nor the most reliable measure of a healthy body weight. The fat accumulation around the waist line, also known as central obesity, is linked to health hazards (cardiovascular disease, diabetes etc.). As such, you waist circumference needs to also be within normal for your age and gender. You need to have a dietitian assess your body measurements to make sure you do not have that problem.
