Your BMI or Body Mass Index is a mathematical formula that is determined by using your height and weight. BMI does not actually measure body fat, but generally correlates well with the degree of obesity. For individuals with a combination of obesity and comorbidities (such as cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, type II diabetes, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, or other conditions) the health risk is greatly increased.
