Some Health Statistics - Before Slimming Program

Taken as of 27 April 2010, here are my health measurements:

Height: 175cm

Weight: 82.7kg

BMI (Body Mass Index): 27 (Overweight)

BMI Categories:

• Underweight = <18.5
• Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
• Overweight = 25-29.9
• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater 

SCS (Skin Carotenoid Scores): 13,000 (Low)

Skin Carotenoid Score is a measurement of the presence of carotenoid antioxidants in the skin. Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants found in abundance in certain fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids neutralize damaging free radical molecules and are absorbed in human plasma and tissue, providing an excellent indicator of a person’s antioxidant level.

Skin Carotenoid Score Index

40,000 ~ 49,000+ Blue – High presence of skin carotenoids

30,000 ~ 39,000 + Green – Good presence of skin carotenoids

20,000 ~ 29,000+ Yellow – Moderate presence of skin carotenoids

10,000 ~ 19,000 Red – Low presence of skin carotenoids

Body Fat: 25.2%

Upper Arm: 29.5cm
