Patient's question:
I'm also considered a fatty. I've been fat since I started developing, and I feel like I've never been under 100 jin since middle school. Now I'm 136. I'm 161 cm tall, and I'm very concerned about my body. I want to know how obesity is determined?Doctor's answer:
Obesity is a group of common metabolic syndromes. When the calories consumed by the body exceed the calories expended, the excess calories are stored in the body as fat, exceeding the normal physiological need and reaching a certain level, which then develops into obesity. Based on the current height and weight, this falls under obesity. It is classified as mild obesity if it exceeds 20%–29%, moderate obesity if it exceeds 30%–49%, and severe obesity if it exceeds 50%. Dietary control and increasing physical activity are the most basic treatment methods. The specific weight control plan should be determined based on individual circumstances.
