Your Doctors Office will always get your height and weight. They need these numbers to calculate a body mass index, your bmi. Its the number that officially defines who is overweight or underweight and you may not know it has come under fire for not treating pounds of fat differently from pounds of bone or muscle. Researchers used National Survey information and blood tests to see how well bmi represented blood markers of Heart Disease risk. They looked at blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, triglicerides, insulin resistance, and of inflammation. What they found might surprise you. Higher bmi often came with less healthy blood markers, but not always. Severely obese people were the most likely to have unhealthy blood profiles with at least 2 abnormalities.
