Definition: Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulations that are dangerous to one's health.
The first step to determine the degree of obesity is calculating the Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI = body weight (in kg) ÷ height (in meters) squared
Underweight – <18.5 kg/m2
Normal weight – ≥18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2
Overweight – ≥25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2
Obesity – ≥30 kg/m2:
> Class I – 30.0 to 34.9 kg/m2
> Class II – 35.0 to 39.9 kg/m2
> Class III – ≥40 kg/m2
