The current crew of rikishi in the highest makuuchi division weigh an average of 160.2 kg, up 15 kg or so from three decades ago.

They have an average body mass index of more than 47. A BMI of 25 or more is considered a sign of being overweight.
The Japanese Sumo Association has set 10 health guidelines for rikishi. Eat fish and vegetables along with meat, says one. And another advises, Chew your food well.
The guidelines also discourage wrestlers from eating potato chips, strawberry layer cake and donuts with bean jam filling as snacks.
The JSA, which has its own health insurance association and clinic, carries out regular health checkups on its squad of wrestlers. It is, however, not easy for the association to oversee the rikishi, as they live separately in 45 sumo stables.
Getting big is part of the rikishis job, said Minoru Kamata, honorary director with Suwa Central Hospital.
The JSA should work systematically on the diet and physical exercise of its wrestlers so they don't develop diabetes and other health problems," Kamata added.
Kamata advised the JSA to also "appoint medical practitioners as advisers and work to change the way the wrestlers train when they are young.
COVID-19 patients with diabetes had a 9.2 percent mortality rate, while those with no chronic health problems had a 1.4 percent mortality rate, according to a joint mission report by the World Health Organization and China that was released in late February.
The report's finding was based on an examination of approximately 56,000 confirmed COVID-19 infection cases.
