Using the BMI Charta The BMI chart is a visual tool that can be used to quickly identify a patient’s BMI using their height and weight. The chart is useful in both seeing a patient’s current BMI category, as well as determining a healthy weight range to discuss with them. ...
This study aimed to determine if having an overweight or obese range body mass index (BMI) at time of beginning school is associated with increased fracture incidence in childhood. A dynamic cohort was created from children presenting for routine preschool primary care screening, collected in the ...
Numerous studies have demonstrated that obesity as defined by BMI was significantly associated with high risk of all-cause mortality compared with BMI within the reference range.3 With the extensive investigation of body composition, more attention has been paid to the association between visceral ...
Point estimates for the GAM showed a continuously increasing function across the entire BMI range; however, this increase was nonlinear. Increases were small for BMIs below approximately 25, with an acceleration of the risk increase occurring between BMIs of approximately 25 to 30. Results for ...

(95% CI 1.07–1.89) in women 63±15 years Higher BMI (optimal range 40–45) was independently associated with better survival after adjustment for available surrogates of nutritional status and inflammation 62±7 years Higher BMI (optimum range 30–35 kg/m2) was associated with lower mortality...
This study confirmed that metabolically unhealthy and increased BMI at a single time point could also affect the risk of CVD and death. Significantly, the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality was higher in metabolically unhealthy individuals with BMI within the normal range than in other groups. ...

significantly lower than for BMI in predicting risk of ‘obesity-related cancers’, CRC, postmenopausal breast cancer (range of C-index differences to BMI: −0.01 to −0.02) and vice versa for ‘other obesity-related cancers’(range of C-index differences to BMI: 0.02 to 0.03; Table 2)...
10 Among 96 Italian children with mild to severe psoriasis, 48% were overweight (BMI ≥85th percentile) vs 27% of controls.11 Using a German pediatric registry, obesity (by International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision [ICD-10 ] code) occurred 1.7-fold more often in psoriatic ...
