There are several methods to detect obesity. The internationally recognized indicator is BMI (Body Mass Index). The formula for BMI is: weight (in kilograms) / height (in meters) squared. For example, if someone is 1.7 meters tall and weighs 65 kilograms, their BMI would be: 65 / (1.7 1.7) = 22.5. A BMI value below 18.5 is considered underweight, 18.5–23.9 is normal, 24–27.9 is overweight, and anything above 28 is classified as obesity.
