BMI

Family Smiling Backyard OSF Medical Group in partnership with OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center offers two ways patients can reduce their obesity, boost their well-being and live a healthy lifestyle, both based on your body mass index (BMI) and other factors.

BMI is a measure of your weight as it relates to your height. BMI usually gives you a good idea of the amount of body fat you have. Your health care providers use BMI to find out your risk for obesity-related diseases.

Do you know your BMI?

In general, a BMI from 20 to 24.9 in adults is considered ideal. A BMI of more than 27 to 30 with co-morbidities, or a BMI of 30 or more without co-morbidities means you can join our Medical Weight Loss Program.

A person is considered obese if their BMI is greater than 30 and morbidly obese if their BMI is 40 or greater. If your BMI is 35 to 39.9 and you also have co-morbidities, you qualify for weight loss surgery at OSF Medical Group. You also qualify for bariatric surgery if your BMI is 40, with or without co-morbidities.
