Body Mass Index (BMI) Ratings

Body Mass Index (BMI) uses a formula used to measure obesity.  Having a high BMI can increase a person’s chance of developing diabetes.  The goal is for patients with diabetes to have a BMI below 25.  Calculate your body mass index (BMI)
 
As part of a community health assessment, residents of York and Adams county were asked to provide their height and weight.  The results show that more than 65 percent of residents are overweight or obese.
