What does your weight mean?

9. Healthy BMI 18.5~25
• Healthy BMI 18.5~25

Health risks from excess weight begin when
BMI is 25 or more

10. However,
BMI is crude estimate of body fatness—BMI of 25 to 30 is a
marker of overweight
But not necessarily a marker of overfat:
• It does not apply older adults, pregnant or lactating women.
• Many men have extra muscle tissues.
BMI alone should not be used to diagnose overweight or
obesity.

11. 3rd Question
how many hours do you spend
on exercise?
Probably,
Your “overweight body ” is just ”overweight
muscle mass”

Brown fat VS White Fat

15. So…
Are you overweight or not?
It depends
- On age
- On body composition
- On genes
Exercising within your ability and Keeping healthy
diets are always the best choice.
