Obesity is now a common topic for most people. 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 people can see at a glance, but most of us need to measure height and 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) / height (m) / height (m). The BMI of a healthy person 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 waist circumference and hip circumference of each person Oh! In short, a person is fat or not, 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 the moderate obesity, or has appeared obesity-related co-morbidity, such as hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., we must go to the hospital as soon as possible to do detailed examination as soon as possible to treat. Don’t take obesity lightly because complications can come to you if you are not careful.
