Wanda is afraid of gaining weight and putting herself at high risk for disease. She works out on a regular basis and eats right most of the time. Recently, Wanda had some testing done. Her BMI was 17.2 and her waist circumference was 30 inches. Which statement describes the BEST next move for Wanda so she will be at the least risk for disease?

The waist circumference of a man should be less than 40 inches, and a woman should have a circumference less than 35. The fact that Wanda's waist circumference is 30 inches, is proof that she is in good health.

One problem however, is that her BMI is quite low. BMI (Body Mass Index) is a ratio of your body's weight and height. The normal ranges is between 18 and 24. The fact that her BMI is 17.2 means that she is categorically underweight, and should consult with a doctor to discuss a way for her to have a normal BMI.

Her waist circumference being normal and BMI being normal will be the next move for her to have least risk of disease.

What is BMI?

This is known as body mass index and helps to check if an individual is underweight, normal or overweight.

Overweight means a high BMI and increases the risk of diseases in individuals which is why her BMI must be in the normal range as a result of her being underweight hence option C was chosen.

The options can be seen below:

A.Wanda must have an MRI done since the results of the BMI and the waist circumference indicate that she is overweight and is at risk for disease.

B.Wanda should consider a more specific test, like a caliper test, so she can target exactly how much she needs to lose to lessen her risk for disease.

C.Wanda's waist circumference indicates that she is not at risk, but her BMI indicates that she underweight. She should develop a plan to move her BMI into the normal range.
