What is BMI?
BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and it is a tool to measure mass based on your weight in relation to your height. Your BMI can help gauge your risk of certain diseases that can occur in people who have a higher percentage of body mass. The higher your
BMI, the higher your risk may be. A BMI of 40 is about 80 to 100 pounds over “normal” weight. Call us today at (843) 352-4154 to learn more.
