of your risk for developing
diseases that tend to occur
with more body fat. The
higher your BMI score, the
higher your risk for certain
diseases such as heart dis
ease, high blood pressure,
type 2 diabetes, gallstones,
breathing problem s and
certain cancers. Although
BMI can be used for most
men and women, it does
have some limits. It may
overestimate body fat in
athletes and others who
have a muscular build and it
may underestimate body fat
in older persons and others
who have lost muscle.
The Nat i onal
Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute guidelines recom
mend looking at two other
predictors: waist circumfer
ence and health risk factors.
Waist circumference helps
screen for possible health
risks that come with being
overweight or obese. If most
of your fat is around your
waist rather than at your
hips, you’re at a higher risk
for heart disease and type
2 diabetes. This risk goes
up with a waist size that is
greater than 35 inches for
women or greater than 40
inches for men. To correctly

Health Improvement Part
nership (CHIP) of Morrow
County is offering a fun
way for county residents
to lose w eight and win
prizes.
The Biggest Win
ner weight-loss competition
and healthy lifestyle pro
gram has been developed as
a community service by the
CHIP of Morrow County,
a partnership between the
health care providers and
community to provide a
fun and supportive environ
ment for people to learn
about and adopt healthy
behaviors.
Not everyone needs
to lose weight, but there are
ways to tell if you should
begin lifestyle changes.
Assessment of weight and
health risk for the develop
ment o f disease involves
using three common key
measures: body mass index,
waist circumference and
health risk factors.
The first measure,
body mass index (BMI),
is an estimated measure of
body fat based on height
and w eight that applies
to adult men and women.
BMI is a reasonable gauge
measure your waist, stand
and place a tape measure
around your middle, just
above your hipbones. Mea
sure your waist just after
you breathe out.
The third measure
is the assessment of health
risk factors in addition to
being overweight or obese.
The following conditions
put you at greater risk for
developing heart disease
and other conditions: high
blood pressure (hyperten
sion), high LDL (“bad”)
c h o le s te ro l, low HDL
(“good”) cholesterol, high
triglycerides, high blood
glucose (sugar), fam ily
history of premature heart
disease, physical inactivity
and cigarette smoking.
If you are consid
ered obese (BMI of 30 or
greater) or are overweight
(BMI o f 25 to 29.9) and
have two or more risk fac
tors, it is recommended that
you lose weight. Even a
small weight loss—between
five and 10 percent of your
current weight—will help
lower your risk of devel
oping diseases associated
with obesity. People who
are overw eight but who

This October was
one of the best years for
Red Ribbon Week at Hep
pner High School, espe
cially since a pow erful
guest speaker by the name
of Brooks Gibbs came over
to talk to HHS and Heppner
Elementary School students
about what drugs have done
to him in his past, with in-
depth details that hit the
hearts of many students at
school. He was by far one
of the best guest speakers
ever to come to Heppner
High School to speak.
In N ovem ber, a
new event was introduced
to Heppner High School,
which was Bully Awareness
Week. This event was in
tended to open the students’
eyes to what bullying really
is and what they can do to
put a stop to it. We are now
more aware o f it, and the
bullying has reduced.
Students will also
be participating in the up
coming light parade. Each
class will enter a float that
they have designed and dec
orated. This winter break
is also full of activities for
HHS students, including
basketball and wrestling
tournaments.
