The results are given as a range because there’s no one ideal weight for people of different heights and builds. Your BMI is also influenced by your age and whether you’re male or female. Some people can also be considered ‘Overweight’ (25-30 BMI), yet have reasonably (or very) low body fat and just be quite muscular.
At your first appointment, your Consultant will tell you more about how important a healthy BMI is. They’ll also take your waist measurement – that’s the best way to see how much fat you’re carrying. As your BMI reduces, your waistline will too.
