To define obesity WHO uses Body Mass Index. Many scientific Works showed that BMI is not enough to define obesity because 2 people which has same height and same weight may have different muscle mass ratios.
For now Body Mass Index method is the most favourite obesity measurement scale.
Body Mass Index: The weight of the person(kilograms) divided by height’s square(meters).for example height=1.73m and weight 110 kg 110/1.73×1.73= 36.8 => VKI

- 18 and less: Underweight
- 20-24.9 Healthy weight
- 25-29.9 Overweight
- 30-39,9 Obese
- 40-49,9 Morbidy Obese
- 50 and over: Super obese
We expect waist hip ratio to be 1 or less for men, and 0,85 or less for women.
Waist circumference measuring is a practical way to determine obesity. If it is more than 102 cm for men and if it is more than 88cm for women; there is a risk to be fat—Metabolic syndrome risk
