BMI

Kelebihan berat badan digolongkan menurut Body Mass Index

(BMI) menjadi obesitas, overweight, normal dan underweight.
Perhitungan BMI adalah perbandingan antara berat badan
dengan tinggi badan melalui persamaan
BMI = Berat Badan (kg) / Tinggi Badan kuadrat (meter)

Setelah itu diklasifikasikan:

Underweight = bila BMI < 18.5
Normoweight = BMI 18.5 – 22.99
Overweight = BMI 23.00 – 24.99
Obese = BMI ≥ 25
For many Asian populations, additional trigger points for
public health action were identified as 23 kg/m2 or
higher, representing increased risk, and 27·5 kg/m2 or
higher as representing high risk. The suggested
categories are as follows: less than 18·5 kg/m2
underweight; 18·5–23 kg/m2 increasing but acceptable
risk; 23–27·5 kg/m2 increased risk; and 27·5 kg/m2 or
higher high risk.
Hong Kong[edit]
The Hospital Authority of Hong Kong recommends the use of the following BMI ranges: [20]

Category BMI (kg/m2)

from to
Underweight 18.5
Normal Range 18.5 23
Overweight—At Risk 23 25
Overweight—Moderately
25 30
Obese
Overweight—Severely
30
Obese
Singapore[edit]
In Singapore, the BMI cut-off figures were revised in 2005, motivated by studies showing that many Asian populations, including Singaporeans,
have higher proportion of body fat and increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitusmpared with Caucasians at the same
BMI.
The BMI cut-offs are presented with an emphasis on health risk rather than weight.[23]

Health Risk BMI (kg/m2)

Risk of developing problems
such as nutritional deficiency 18.5
and osteoporosis
Low Risk (healthy range) 18.5 23
Moderate risk of developing
heart disease, high blood 23 27.5
pressure, stroke, diabetes
High risk of developing
heart disease, high
27.5
blood pressure, stroke,
diabetes
