Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

Her BMI of 32.1 is : In the " obese" range (>30), giving her an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure & high cholesterol. Gently suggest that she see her primary care physician & a cardiologist for risk-reduction. Many young women who are obese have polycystic ovary syndrome, which can cause infertility & even greater risk of diabetes.
