    <b>step: </b>, <b>name: </b>Measure BMI, <b>description: </b>Measure, Weight, Height, Waist, Circumference; Calculate BMI  Weight must be measured
         so that the BMI can be calculated. Most charts are based on weights obtained with the
         patient wearing undergarments and no shoes. BMI can be manually calculated (kg/[height
         in meters]2), but is more easily obtained from a nomogram. Waist circumference is important
         because evidence suggests that abdominal fat is a particularly strong determinant of cardiovascular
         risk in those with a BMI of 25 to 34.9 kg/m2. Increased waist circumference can also be
         a marker of increased risk even in persons of normal weight. The technique for measuring
         waist circumference is described in the text. A nutrition assessment will also help to
         assess the diet and physical activity habits of overweight patients, <b>precondition: </b>, <b>union: </b>, <b>description: </b>The practitioner must seek to determine whether the patient has ever been overweight.
         While a technical definition is provided, a simple question such as 'Have you ever been
         overweight?' will accomplish the same goal. Questions directed towards weight history,
         dietary habits, physical activities, and medications may provide useful information about
         the origins of obesity in particular patients., <b>condition: </b>, <b>type: </b>, <b>coding: </b>, <b>system: </b>http://acme.org, <b>code: </b>1234, <b>display: </b>Obesity, <b>valueBoolean: </b>true, <b>union: </b>, <b>description: </b>BMI Measured in Past 2 Years  For those who have not been overweight, a 2 year interval
         is appropriate for the reassessment of BMI. While this time span is not evidence-based,
         it is believed to be a reasonable compromise between the need to identify weight gain
         at an early stage and the need to limit the time, effort, and cost of repeated measurements.,
