While Body Mass Index (BMI) is widely used to assess obesity it has notable limitations, especially for individuals with lymphatic insufficiency. For instance, the weight of swollen legs can elevate the BMI, even if the person is underweight in the upper body.

For adults, a BMI under 19 is considered underweight, 20-25 a healthy weight, over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 obese.

Waist-to-Hip Ratio is a better metric to assess baseline overweight or obese status, and to measure healthy progress. Simply divide your waist size by your hip size. Hold the tape at the narrowest part of your torso and the widest part of your hips.

The WHO defines abdominal obesity as a WHR of at least 0.85 or more for women and 0.90 for men. A ratio higher than 1.0 indicates and increased risk of health problems.

How does your BMI compare to your WHR?
