Understanding BMI and Weight Loss Treatment
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy. While it's not a perfect measure of health, it's a useful screening tool used by healthcare professionals.
How BMI informs clinical assessment
A clinician may consider prescription weight-management treatment within the following screening ranges, alongside your health history, current medicines, individual risks, and treatment goals:
- BMI of 30 or above (classified as obese)
- BMI of 27-29.9 with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
