BY Penelope Judson 2018-06-01Obesity means that the body's fat content exceeds the average of normal people. The general weight formula for judging obesity is: male: 62+(height-170) × 0.6=ideal weight; female: 52+(height-158)×0.5=ideal weight, but body weight cannot fully reflect body fat content, body mass index ( BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio are the criteria for judging obesity. For us Chinese, obesity refers to being overweight when the body mass index BMI is greater than 24, and obese when it is greater than 28; the normal waist circumference of men is within 85 cm, and the waist circumference of women should be controlled below 80 cm, otherwise it is also obese.5
