Answer 1

High body mass index is an indicator of obesity and fatness. A body mass index of 31 is very high and this indicates that Jane is highly obese and over-weight. Jane might have osteoarthritis. The doctor should advise her to get her Vitamin D, Calcium, Creatinine, and joint aspiration, along with an MRI/CT scan of the joint.
