Learn the correlation between your Body Mass Index (BMI) and your chances of developing gout.

1. GOUT AND BMI
WHAT IS YOUR BMI?

2. BMI is a measurement tool that stands for
“Body Mass Index” that compares your
height to your actual weight and calculates
if you are overweight, underweight or at
your ideal weight for your height!

3. To get your BMI, take your weight in pounds
and divide it with your height in inches
squared. You take the quotient of that and
multiply it by the conversion factor of 703. The
final calculation is your BMI.

4. THE BMI SCALE

5. Studies do prove though that the higher the BMI, the higher the risk
of developing gout increases. With a BMI between 25 and 29.9 which
indicates that you are overweight, the risk of developing gout is twice
as much than being at a BMI at the healthy weight range below 25.
With a BMI of over 30 which means you are obese, your risk goes up
by 2 and half times more likely to develop gout and if you score a BMI
over 35 the risk goes up 3 times!
The Higher the BMI, the Higher
Your Chances of Developing Gout

6. So if you score a BMI of higher than 25, it is
time for you to take that critical step in
changing your diet and lifestyle so you can
better cope with gout in your upcoming years.
