Apollo Sugar Clinics

Is BMI enough to understand your metabolic health? Not always. BMI looks at your weight in relation to your height, but it doesn’t tell you where that weight comes from or where your body stores fat. That’s where waist size adds another piece of the puzzle. A larger waist can indicate more abdominal fat, which is associated with a higher risk of metabolic health problems, including issues with blood sugar. For example, two people can have the same BMI but different waist sizes — and therefore potentially different metabolic risk profiles. That’s why looking at BMI + waist size together can give you a more complete picture than relying on either measure alone. And remember, these are screening measures, not diagnoses. Your overall health, family history, lifestyle and other health parameters matter too. Know more. Track better. Stay ahead with Apollo Sugar Clinics. 3 days ago Book
