Doctor’s Note
Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS
85 kg is a weight that appears with high frequency in general practice health checks, blood pressure reviews, and diabetic assessments. It is a weight where associated conditions start to become more prevalent. I find that patients at this weight who are otherwise well often want to know whether they should be concerned. The honest answer is that it depends on height, but also on metabolic markers. A fasting blood sugar, blood pressure reading, and cholesterol panel give a much fuller picture of risk than the BMI alone.
