Assess Your Health Risks

Welcome to the UAMS Program for Weight Loss and Metabolic Control. To find out how your weight affects you and to see what we can do for you, please enter the following information:

Weight (lbs)

Height

feet

inches

Age

Gender

Do you have any of the following: 

  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Elevated cholesterol or triglyceride
  • Heart disease
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Severe arthritis
 

From the information above, your Body mass index (BMI) is kg/m2.

This puts you in a risk category for further medical problems based on your weight and medical history.

If you join the UAMS weight control program and use one of our recommended nutrition and exercise plans we estimate you will lose approximately lbs in the first month.
