General Health

BMI – Body Mass Index

Most people have heard of the BMI and although it is far from a gold standard test, it can still be an indicator of poor health. Generally, the higher above 25 a BMI score is, the more chance there is of developing a Chronic Disease.

Waist To Hip Ratio

Because we know fat held around the waist is more damaging than fat held around the hips, if you can get someone to take your waist and hip measurements you’ll be on your way to knowing how at risk you are of developing a Chronic Disease. Men should aim for < 0.9. Women should aim for < 0.75.
