Risk of Developing Heart Disease, Diabetes, or High Blood Pressure Based on Weight for a Given Height

Weights listed are the cutoff points at which a range of higher weight for a given risk factor is entered. Example: If you are 5 foot (60 inches) and weigh 128 pounds, your body mass index is 25. You are considered overweight and have an increased risk of developing heart disease. The higher your weight for any given height increases your BMI and your risk factor.
