“Oh my God, I’ve gained weight again!” We can always hear such sentiments in our lives, and obesity is a common topic for most people these days. But is it really fat, fat to which degree? Many people are only based on the feeling to judge, in fact, obesity is not the weight to say, then how to determine whether they are obese? Today I will talk about whether you are really fat or fake fat? And the criteria for determining obesity. Fat or not fat is not just the appearance, there are objective criteria Oh! Seriously obese we can see at a glance, but most of us need to measure height, weight to calculate the body mass index judgment. When you know the standard weight and ideal weight range, measuring whether a person is obese is very simple. The specific method is to measure the body mass index (BMI) by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height, that is, BMI == weight (kg) รท height^2 (m). The BMI of healthy people is between 18.5 and 24; and when the BMI is between 24 and 27, it is overweight, where between 27 and 30 is mild obesity, between 30 and 35 is moderate obesity, and greater than 35 is considered severe obesity. This BMI formula is simple and practical, but only rely on this to determine obesity is not all accurate, such as athletes muscular, they may meet the obesity standards, but will not be included in the obese people. So in order to more accurately measure the degree of obesity, you also need to measure your body fat percentage. Nowadays, many people use body fat scales to get an accurate body fat percentage right away. It is important to note that when the body fat percentage is greater than 25% for men or greater than 30% for women, they are already fat. And different kinds of obesity fat distribution is also different, like abdominal obesity fat is mainly deposited in the abdomen, and hip obesity fat is mainly in the buttocks and legs, the difference between these two kinds of obesity is mainly to see the ratio of each person’s waist circumference and hip circumference Oh! In short, a person is not fat, do not just be confused by the performance, or through a multi-dimensional approach to measure and then determine. If it has been determined to reach moderate to heavy obesity, or has appeared obesity-related associated morbidity, such as hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., we should go to the hospital as soon as possible to do a detailed examination as soon as possible to treat.
