Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Obesity in adults is defined as having a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or more. BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared. A BMI of 30 or more indicates an excess amount of body fat that can lead to health problems. A weight of over 200 pounds or 150 pounds does not take into account a person's height and therefore cannot accurately determine if they are obese. A BMI of 20 or more is considered a healthy weight range for adults, but does not indicate obesity.
