If
you weigh the same or more than the amount listed for your height, you
may be at risk for diabetes. This chart is based on a measure called
Body Mass Index. The chart shows unhealthy weights for men and women
age 35 or older at the listed heights. At-risk weights are lower
for individuals under age 35.
