CALCULATING OVERALL HEALTH RISK<br />
Using the information contained in Figure 1 the PTI will be able to combine the BMI<br />
and WC data to identify the overall level of health risk to an individual.<br />
BMI (kg/m 2 )<br />
Men < 94cm<br />
Women < 80 cm<br />
WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE<br />
Men 94 – 101.5 cm<br />
Women 80 – 87.5<br />
cm<br />
Underweight < 18.5 Increased Risk<br />
Healthy<br />
Weight<br />
Figure 1– Classification of Disease Risk based on BMI and WC.<br />
Men ≥ 102 cm<br />
Women ≥ 88 cm<br />
18.5 – 24.9 No Increased Risk No Increased Risk Increased Risk<br />
Overweight 25.0 - 29.9 No Increased Risk Increased Risk High Risk<br />
Obese Class<br />
I<br />
Obese Class<br />
II<br />
Obese Class<br />
III<br />
30.0 - 34.9 Increased Risk High Risk Very High Risk<br />
35.0 - 39.9 High Risk Very High Risk Extreme Risk<br />
≥ 40 Very High Risk Extreme Risk Extreme Risk<br />
Body Composition Measurement<br />
Using the above chart to calculate ‘risk’ is considered the most efficient method in<br />
the advent of limited requirement, in the case of the RM, or when considering<br />
attached RN ranks, where access to the JPA/FISS data base is problematic. Use of<br />
the chart will enable the PTI to record one of the following classifications into the<br />
‘Overall Health Risk’ column on the Results Sheet:<br />
No Increased Risk.<br />
Increased Risk.<br />
High Risk.<br />
Very High Risk.<br />
Extremely High Risk.<br />
When recording results on the JPA/FISS database, both the BMI and the Overall<br />
Health Risk Category will be calculated automatically once raw scores are entered.<br />
