Body Mass Index (BMI) Assessment
What is BMI and Why Does It Matter?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used medical screening tool that helps estimate your body fat based on your height and weight. It is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters (BMI=weight (kg)height (m)2)(BMI=height (m)2weight (kg).
At Skin Hive Clinic, BMI assessment is a foundational step in our slimming and weight management programs, allowing us to understand your current health status and personalize your treatment plan.
How We Assess BMI
- We measure your weight and height using precise, calibrated equipment.
- Your BMI is then calculated using the standard formula, and the result helps us categorize your weight status:
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5 – 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25 – 29.9
- Obese: BMI 30 or higher13
Why BMI Assessment is Important for Slimming
- Health Risk Evaluation: BMI helps identify your risk for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension, which are often linked to excess body fat.
- Personalized Planning: Understanding your BMI allows our specialists to tailor slimming treatments that are safe, effective, and suited to your body type.
- Progress Tracking: Regular BMI assessments help monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to your weight loss plan.
Beyond BMI: Comprehensive Body Analysis
While BMI is a useful starting point, it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution. For a holistic understanding, Skin Hive Clinic also considers additional measures like waist circumference and body composition analysis to ensure a complete assessment of your health and slimming needs.
