What is BMI and why it matters in Pakistan
BMI Body Mass Index is weight in kg divided by height in meters squared. In Pakistan, diabetes prevalence is 26 percent highest, and high BMI is major risk. My BMI was 27.3 overweight last year, doctor in Sargodha said for Pakistanis ideal is 18.5 to 23 not 24.9 because Asians have higher body fat at same BMI. I reduced from 78kg to 68kg at 5ft 8in, BMI now 22.7 normal, feeling better.
