Harry, why don't you post the results of yours last physical for a comparison?





My results aren't off the internet. At my annual physical last April, I

remember the following:



Weight 212

Height 6'1"+ a bit

BP 116/66

Pulse at rest 70

A1C 6.7 or 6.9, I don't recall which

Kidney, Liver Readings Normal

Vision 20/20 left eye, a bit less in the

right eye, the usual old fart need

for reading/computer glasses.

Hearing Normal range



I have a little arthritis in my knees.



Two years ago, I completed all phases of a nuclear stress test I took

because my wife "insisted."



I had a colonoscopy last fall, same nominal result as the one I had five

years earlier. Same funny doctor.



I had a cataract removed from my left eye last fall.



I can still remember the first and last name of every classroom teacher

I had, from the first grade through graduation from high school, the

name of every girl I ever dated, the list of songs played in order at my

high school senior prom, what row of seats I sat in with my mother

when I saw my first theater movie at the Lincoln Theater in New Haven (I

was four and saw Bambi), and so forth.





What's in your physical report, Tim?





Don't know yet. Ill have a fresh exam in a couple weeks including chest x-ray and blood testing.

If I believed him, I'd congratulate Harry on all the weight he's lost. Even so:


For the information you entered:

Height: 6 feet, 1 inches
Weight: 212 pounds

Your BMI is 28, indicating your weight is in the Overweight category for adults of your height.

For your height, a normal weight range would be from 140 to 189 pounds.

People1 who are overweight or obese are at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood
pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
BMI
Weight Status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5—24.9 Normal
25.0—29.9 Overweight
30.0 and Above Obese
Anyone who is overweight should try to avoid gaining additional weight. Additionally, if you are
overweight with other risk factors (such as high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high blood
pressure), you should try to lose weight. Even a small weight loss (just 10% of your current weight)
may help lower the risk of disease. Talk with your healthcare provider to determine appropriate ways
to lose weight.
