✅ Here’s what doctors really look at:
1️⃣ BMI is just one tool. It estimates body fat but doesn’t show your full health picture.
2️⃣ Metabolic health matters. Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver, and high visceral fat count too.
3️⃣ Asian cut-offs differ. Asians are more prone to metabolic risks even at lower BMIs, so thresholds are adjusted.
4️⃣ Quality of life counts. If your weight limits daily activity or mobility, a consultation is worth considering.
💬 The key? Don’t let BMI alone decide your options.
Each case is unique — your health story matters more than the number on a chart.
