Where you carry your body fat may be just as important as how many extra pounds you’re carrying on your frame. Both men and women who tend to carry their weight in the middle are at a much higher risk for health problems, as opposed to those who carry more weight in their hips. In any case, you can use a measurement called body mass index, better known as BMI, to determine whether your weight is dangerous to your health. If you’re BMI is at 30 or higher, your health may be in danger. Below is a calculator to help you determine your BMI.
