UNDERSTANDING YOUR BMI
• BMI is a common measure of obesity.
• BMI helps determine treatment options —
especially when one or more comorbid conditions
are also present.
• A person with a BMI of 35 or more (approximately
100 pounds or more over ideal body weight) is
considered morbidly obese.1
• Morbid obesity raises the risk of early death by
50 percent (when compared to individuals who
are not obese).2
