## How Does Obesity Affect Life Insurance?
Life insurance companies evaluate your **height and weight** using the **Body Mass Index (BMI)**. A BMI of **30 or higher** typically qualifies as obese. Depending on your BMI and any related health conditions, your premiums may be slightly higher—but that doesn’t mean you can’t get good coverage.
The key is to **work with an advisor who understands the carriers that are more lenient** with higher BMI clients—and that’s where Mintco Financial comes in.
