But analytic don't throw out that BMI chart just yet. Are You At Risk? "I'm not against people using devices to figure out fat percentages, but it is a well established fact that your BMI number does tell you a lot about your risk of diseases, especially heart disease and diabetes," says Harry DuVal, PhD, associate professor of exercise science at analytic the University of Georgia in Athens. "Fat percentages just don't have enough research behind them yet to tell you how much risk of disease you face." You're probably familiar with body mass index. BMI is an equation analytic that gives you a numerical rating of your health based on height and weight. As your BMI goes up, so does your risk of developing weight-related diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. (To figure your BMI, use our calculator.) But even as more and more people are using their BMI number as an indicator of overall health, research on fat percentage is improving.
