What does a bmi of 38.9 mean for my heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It puts: A tremendous strain on your heart, the rest of your body and generally will predispose to joint problems, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, strokes, heart attacks and a shorter life. Is that enough to get you to lose weight?
