How to measure obesity?

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

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
