According to WHO, “Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health.” It is usually measured by finding out the body mass index (BMI), which can be calculated as per the following formula:
BMI = Weight of the person (in kg)/(Height (in m)*Height (in m)). If 25<BMI<30, the person is overweight and if BMI>30, she/he is obese.
Other indicators of fat are body fat percentage and visceral fat, which if greater than normal pose great risk to health.
