Weight Related Risk Factors
When physicians or other health care professionals
assess your weight, then as well as BMI
and other measurements, they also look for the presence of other weight-related
risk factors. The more of these risk factors you have, the more you are
likely to benefit from weight loss if you are overweight or obese.
Weight Related Risk Factors
The types of weight-related risk factors
that professionals look for, include:
- A personal or family history of heart
disease
- A Family history of weight-related health
problems
- Evidence of high blood pressure
- Evidence of abnormal blood fats (high
LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides)
- Evidence of high blood sugar
- Evidence of Arthritis in Hips or knees
- Lifestyle risks, like: smoking, lack
of exercise, poor eating habits
