Samuel with the age of 35 and with a height of 55 inches, which is roughly around 4.5833 feet, his average weight should only have been running between 79. 6 lbs to 107.6 lbs. The normal BMi for him should only be ranging from 18.5 kg/ m2 to 25 kg/m2. But with all the details related to him like his age, height and weight, his BMI reached 41.84 kg/m2 which can already be classified under Obese Class III.

There is an extremely high risk of weight-related disease and premature death when a person is having a BMI of 40+. When a person reached this BMI level, it is important that he or she must see a doctor and get specialists to help in this condition.
