In modern life, due to excessive intake of nutrition, imbalance of nutrition, improper proportion of three meals, and greatly reduced amount of exercise, there are more and more obese people. However, how to judge whether they are in the standard weight range and whether they are obese? Let's talk about the judgment method of obesity in detail.

How to judge obesity

First: there are several ways to detect whether BMI is obese. The international common index is BMI. The algorithm of BMI is: the square of weight (kg) / height (m). For example, if someone's height is 1.7 m and weight is 65 kg, then BMI is 65 / (1.7 * 1.7) = 22.5. If BMI is less than 18.5, he is thinner, 18.5-23.9 is normal, 24-27.9 is overweight, and if BMI is more than 28, he is obese

Second: waist circumference waist circumference can roughly measure the distribution of fat in the body, can detect whether suffering from central obesity. Waist circumference measurement indicators are divided into World Health Organization standard and China Index. The World Health Organization index is that the waist circumference of men should be less than 95cm, and that of women should be less than 80cm; China index is that the waist circumference of men should be less than 85CM, and that of women should be less than 80cm, and that exceeding this range is obesity.

Third: waist hip ratio waist hip ratio is the ratio of waist circumference divided by hip circumference. The Asian standard is that men should be less than 0.9 and women should be less than 0.8. If it exceeds, it is obese.

The standard weight is the height of height (CM) - 105 = kg, if more than 10%, it is overweight; if more than 20%, it is obesity; if more than 20-30%, it is mild obesity; if more than 30-40, it is moderate obesity; if more than 50%, it is moderate obesity. The body weight is in the standard plus or minus 10% even normal.
