肥胖(obesity)的定義:
Obesity has been more precisely defined by the National Institutes of Health (the NIH) as a BMI of 30 and above. (A BMI of 30 is about 30 pounds overweight.) The BMI (body mass index), a key index for relating body weight to height, is a person's weight in kilograms (kg) divided by their height in meters (m)squared. Since the BMI describes the body weight relative to height, it correlates strongly (in adults) with the total body fat content.

Ha ha, when i started resident decade ago, 250 lb would raise the red flag, now a days pt 350+ lbis not a big deal. Seeing 400+lb all the time. People don't realize obesity is a disease and worse thing is it can kill you.
我家LD也這麽說,我們相互鼓勵對方多吃,還有理論叫“相對減肥”,嗬嗬
哈哈,有的人天生骨骼粗壯,肌肉又緊實,看起來很fit,一稱量發現很重。本樓主認為這一類的人用BMI指數不合理。
樓主上傳的照片看起來滿健壯的,應該是骨骼和肌肉占去了大部分的比例,這樣一來,BMI就該失效,不應被劃為OVERWEIGHT。
如果腰圍過大,倒是要小心才是。
謝謝幾位啊!我大概是過了25不多,還好隻是Overwright:)
overweight BMI 25-29, obesity 30-39, morbid obesity > 40

你氣我呢,我是屬於肥胖群的,正在努力脫離淪陷區,
有人歡喜有人愁啊
肥胖引起的都是常見病。
哈,專家提供專業數據來了。。
CDC的標準我相信沒有變,BMI>25。
沒有查德州,大於>30% :)
