Most Life Insurance providers in the UK have different underwriting rules when it comes to BMI; some will be much more lenient than others, and some will have additional requirements (e.g. medicals & Dr’s reports). We will take time to talk through your situation, assess your needs and make recommendations on the best available policies.

How does Obesity or having a high BMI Impact Life Insurance Costs?
Life Insurance providers increase premiums because of the possible associated risks and complications related to being Obese or Overweight. These may include Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, Strokes, and Depression, among others.

The actual your premium increases will depend on your BMI, lifestyle factors and medical history.

Today, the process of determining whether someone is Overweight is by calculating Body Mass Index (BMI). This is done by dividing your weight by your height.

BMI ranges are defined as follows:

• Underweight = below 17
• Normal = 18 – 25
• Overweight = 25 – 30
• Obese = 30 – 40
• Morbidly Obese = over 40

If you’re unsure of your BMI, you can use our BMI Calculator below.
