Nothing in the article Peg linked to has that information. Information about her health history cannot, as I understand HIPPA, be released without her consent.
As for "medical forula" and BMI, these objective measurements are totally arbitrary. I plugged my measurements into the CDC's BMI calculator (http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm) and got 29.7 meaning I'm "overweight" and nearly "obese." If I were to gain five pounds I'd be nicely in "obese" territory (30.3). I'm a skinny guy with a bit of a beer belly. If someone told me I needed to lose weight, I'd laugh in their face.
She just didn't want to listen.
I suspect that she'd heard that same information more than enough. From doctors, family members, even well-meaning strangers. Not to mention the cruel ones who laugh or give her dirty looks because she dares to pick up a carton of sugar-free ice cream or whatever. Or the constant barrage of advertising and other media that says you're worthless if you don't fit into some narrowly defined vision of what a woman should look like. If anyone didn't want to listen, it was probably the doctor who didn't want to listen to her.
