Body Mass Index (BMI)

The body mass index or BMI (also known as the Quetelet index) measures the human body shape based on a person's mass (i.e. weight) and height. This is a simple way of measuring whether a person is within their ideal weight, or not (i.e. under- or overweight). There are a few shortcomings to this measurement, however, especially when applied to athletes who have higher muscle mass, who thus tend to weigh more than the average person.

Insurance Why You Need to Get Insured Today
One of the most common questions our clients ask us is how soon they should take out life insurance. The answer is simple: the sooner you take up life insurance the more competitive terms you will get it on. In the following paragraphs, we will share with you some of the most important reasons why it's important that you should get insured as soon as possible.
Life Insurance The Low Down on Life Insurance
When it comes to life insurance, most Australians admit defeat before they've even started. Navigating your way around the hundreds of polices on offer can be hard work, not to mention understanding the value of all of the optional extras and pricings.
Life Insurance Good News For Consumers With A Slightly Higher BMI
Up until recently if your BMI was higher than 32 many life insurance companies would have classified consumers as overweight and obese and would calculate how much you would need to pay for life insurance by your BMI.
Life Insurance Diabetes and Life Insurance
If you are diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, the most important thing is to manage your health appropriately. Whilst Rate Detective can assist in finding you the most competitive insurance, we recommend also contacting an organisation like Diabetes Australia who can provide advice on managing your health.
Life Insurance BMI Can Affect Your Life Insurance Premiums
Unfortunately many people fail to associate life insurance quotes with weight and obesity and some find themselves with high life insurance rates, without knowing why they are so high.
Health Insurance Medical Insurance for the young
Think you're invincible? Think again... You're in your twenties. You're fit. You eat healthy... well healthy enough... You don't really get struck by any illnesses. Except for that occasional yearly cold or weekly hangover. You're invincible.
Income Protection Income Protection versus Workers Compensation
Individuals have often questioned the validity of having income protection insurance, especially if their employer provides Workers Compensation cover.
