BMI classification
18.5 to 25.9 = normal weight 25.0 to 29.9 = overweight 30.0 to 34.9 = obesity class I 35.0 to 39.9 = obesity class II
BMI 19.5 = normal weight BMI 38.8 = obesity class II BMI 34.3 = obesity class I BMI 28.2 = overweight
BMI can be calculated by dividing weight in (kg) by height (m^2) squared
or by weight (lb) divide by height (in^2) squared all times 703

Study Notes
BMI Calculation
- BMI can be calculated by dividing weight in kg by height in m^2 squared
- Alternatively, BMI can be calculated by dividing weight in lb by height in in^2 squared, multiplied by 703
Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
- Increased waist circumference and abdominal obesity are independent risk factors for cardiometabolic risk and mortality
- A waist circumference exceeding a certain threshold is an indicator of increased cardiometabolic risk
Obesity Screening and Referral
- According to the USPSTF, adult patients with a BMI of 30 or higher should be referred for obesity treatment and behavioral intervention
- The USPSTF recommends screening all adults for obesity
- A BMI measurement is an element of obesity screening
Metabolic Syndrome Diagnosis
- To be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, a patient must have 3 or more of the following criteria:
- Abdominal obesity via waist circumference (WC)
- Other criteria (not specified)
- Being treated for a condition counts as meeting the criterion
Health Impacts of Obesity
- Mortality increases by approximately ____ for every 5 kg/m2 higher BMI above 25 kg/m2
- The lifetime prevalence of major depressive disorder increases by ______ when BMI exceeds 30
- Small weight loss can have significant health impacts, and larger losses can be life-changing
Exercise Recommendations
- Recommend at least ______ minutes of exercise per week for patients
