Let numbers tell you what makes you obese

What is obese? There is a certain ratio between a person's height and weight. It is generally believed that the height of centimeters minus 105 kilograms is the standard weight, 10% of the standard weight is "overweight", and more than 20% of the standard weight can be considered obese. Some people think that more than 30% of the standard weight is considered obese. Others calculate the standard weight by subtracting 100 for those below 150 cm, subtracting 105 for those above 151-165 cm, and subtracting 110 for those above 166 cm.

How can we more accurately calculate a person's fatness? The simple method is to use the following formula to calculate:

Standard weight in kilograms = height in centimeters-105 or calculated according to the following formula:

Men: Standard weight kilograms = height centimeters-100-height-150 4

Women: Standard weight kilograms = height centimeters-100-height-150 2

Obesity is generally divided into three degrees. The weight exceeding the standard weight is mild by 20-30%, the weight exceeding 30-50% is moderate, and the weight exceeding 50% is severe. The calculation formula can be as follows:

Obesity = actual weight-standard weight calculated by height ÷ standard weight calculated by height ×100%. For example, if a middle-aged woman is 160 cm tall and weighs 75 kg, her standard weight is 160-105=55 kg. If calculated according to another formula, it is 160-100-160-150÷2=55 kg.

Obesity =75-55÷55×100%=36.1% According to the above regulations, if 30-50% of the standard weight is severely obese, the person is considered moderately obese. (Internship Editor: Jiang Yan)
