A healthy weight is a body weight that doesn't increase risk of weight-related health problems. If you're 250 pounds and classified as overweight based on BMI, weight loss of can help reduce your risk of hypertension and diabetes.

In a person with 250 pounds of weight - about 113 kg - assuming its height is 1.85 m, weight loss of of 62 pounds can help reduce the risk of hypertension and diabetes.

Explanation:

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is obtained from an equation that allows to know when an individual has an appropriate weight, according to their height. This index relates the weight in kilograms to the height in meters, using the formula:

BMI = w/h²

That is, the weight (w) divided by the square of the height (h).

The ideal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 Kg / m2. A lower value indicates varying degrees of malnutrition, and higher values overweight and obesity.

A person with 250 pounds or 113.4 kg of weight, assuming that their height is 1.85 m, will have a BMI of 33.01, indicating moderate obesity and high risk of having diabetes or high blood pressure.

The weight loss of 62 pounds or 28 Kg can bring the BMI to 24.84 Kg/m²

BMI = 85 / 1.85²

BMI = 85 / 3,4225

BMI = 24.84 Kg/m²

A BMI of 24.84 Kg/m² is considered within the ideal weight and would significantly reduce the risk of having hypertension or diabetes.
