How to judge whether you have local obesity

What is localized obesity

It can be observed in daily life that some people do not seem to have the trouble of being overweight compared to normal people when weighing, but when you see their bulging bellies and fat buttocks, you often can't help but feel worried about their obesity. This is the problem of localized obesity, and it is also a nightmare that plagues many people.

The difference between local obesity and systemic obesity is that a patient with localized obesity is not necessarily a systemic obesity person. A person who looks slim from the back may also have a "beer belly" that looks like a nuisance from the side. Locally obese people generally maintain their weight at a level that may just exceed the standard weight, or they may hover between obesity and overweight levels. The most common part of local obesity is the abdomen and thighs of the human body.

How to determine whether there is local obesity?

The way to determine whether you have localized obesity is simple. There are two commonly used methods:

One is that when you are upright (similar to an upright posture), your eyes look down. If your vision is blocked by your abdomen and you can't see your toes, it means that you are already locally obese.

Another method is to put a ruler or any relatively straight object centered on your belly button when you are lying on your back on the bed. At this time, if the ruler or object is supported by your belly, one or both ends cannot come into contact with the skin, which also means that you have local obesity.
