Determining your body mass index

What is body mass index?

Determining how much you should weigh is not a simple matter of looking at a height-weight chart, but includes considering the amount of bone, muscle and fat in your body's composition. The amount of fat is the critical measurement. A good indicator of how much fat you carry is the body mass index (BMI). Although it is not a perfect measure, it gives a fairly accurate assessment of how much of your body is composed of fat.

How can I tell if I'm overweight?

Use the tool on this page to calculate your BMI. Having a BMI higher than 24.9 may mean you are overweight. Note that these are approximate values, and they are intended to be used only as a rough guide. If you are worried about your BMI or are trying to lose weight, talk to your primary care doctor. You may also wish to contact the RUSH Center for Weight Loss and Lifestyle Medicine, which offers individualized weight loss and wellness programs for people of all ages. You may also contact the RUSH Nutrition and Wellness Center or the RUSH University Prevention Center. These programs offer nutrition counseling and help with making lifestyle changes. Doctors at RUSH offer bariatric surgery for some people who are morbidly obese (those with a BMI of at least 40, or a BMI of at least 35 plus an obesity-related disease such as diabetes or high blood pressure).

What does fatty stool look like?

webmd.com - What Causes Fecal Fat and How To Treat It - WebMD

The last stage of digestion is excretion. When you have bowel movements, you are removing all the material from food that your body couldn't use. Typically, your body has already removed essential nutrients, absorbed them during the digestive process, and is ready to excrete the rest. There are multiple organs that are part of the process, including your stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas.‌‌ If one of your digestive organs has a problem, it can disrupt the digestive process. You may develop a condition in which your body doesn't get all the nutrients out of your food. Instead of nutrients fueling your body, some of them, including fat, can be passed in your stools. If you have a condition that makes it difficult to digest fat, you may also develop fatty stools or fecal fat. When this happens, you may experience digestive issues such as pain, gas, or diarrhea. Your doctor will need to do tests to figure out what is causing your fatty stools.
