What does your score mean?
Your score will appear as one of the following ranges:
- Healthy weight. Your weight alone does not put you at risk for serious health problems.
- Moderate risk. Your weight is one reason you are at moderate risk for serious health problems. Talk to your doctor about ways to lower your risk.
- High risk. Your weight is one reason you are at higher-than-normal risk for serious health problems that could shorten your life. Talk to your doctor about ways to lower your risk.
