Shall we find out the formula for obesity calculator?
Obesity is common in modern people! Obesity refers to a condition in which there is an excess of adipose tissue in the body. Just because you look fat from the outside doesn’t mean you’re obese. If you’re overweight but don’t have a lot of muscle mass and a lot of fat, you’re not considered obese. Because each race has a different constitution, the obesity rate calculator is also applied differently.
Today, in addition to the formula of the obesity index calculator, we have prepared a table for obesity index for children 🙂

Causes and Symptoms
Obesity is caused by an energy imbalance that occurs when you consume more than you consistently consume. For genetic reasons, there are problems with the central function of appetite control, endocrine diseases, or drugs that increase appetite. In general, obesity is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental influences.
In particular, modern people these days are in an environment where they can easily consume high-calorie foods, so the increase in obesity rates due to such eating habits cannot be ignored. In most cases, obesity has no symptoms. Just looking at it with the naked eye, there are only changes such as gaining a bit of weight, slowing down your own movement, and wearing clothes a little.
However, obesity should not be left unattended for a long time because it can cause various complications. Metabolically, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, etc. can occur, in addition, joint diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver, cholelithiasis, reproductive diseases, etc. can be accompanied, and the incidence of some cancers also increases.

It is very difficult to determine whether or not you are overweight with the naked eye. In that case, the weight calculator is used. Obesity calculator is a means to measure whether my body is normal or obese, and if it is obese, I can objectively figure out how obese I am.
Basically, the obesity calculator calculates your body mass index, which is called BMI (Body Mass Index). The body mass index is an index that measures the degree of obesity in humans. As the amount of fat is estimated by looking at the correlation between weight and height, it becomes a measure of body fat percentage and health risk.
■ Obesity calculator
Weight (kg) ÷ (height (m)xheight (m)) = BMI index (body fat index)
■ example
Q. What is the BMI index of a person who is 161 cm tall and weighs 53 kg?
A. It comes out as 53kg ÷ (1.61×1.61) = 20.45, so it is a normal weight. (Be sure to convert your height in cm to m!)
▣ Criteria for obesity according to body mass index

Underweight Less than 18.5 Obesity Stage 1 25.0 ~ 29.9
Normal 18.5 ~ 22.9 Obesity 2nd stage 30.0 ~ 39.9
Overweight 23.0 ~ 24.9 Obesity level 3 Over 40.0
Child Obesity Calculator
Because children and adolescents have a limited body mass index, obesity cannot be judged on the same basis as adults. For those under the age of 19, please refer to the standard growth chart according to body mass index below. (Source: Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

obesity treatment
Obesity is an urgent priority to improve lifestyle. As mentioned above, obesity is caused by continuing to consume more calories than you consume. Therefore, in order to consume more calories than consume, you need to reduce the amount of food and increase the amount of exercise.
It should also be combined with a diet that reduces calorie intake. It is recommended to eat 500 to 1,000 calories less than the usual amount of calories consumed, and depending on how the nutrients are composed, the diet is very important enough to have a weight loss effect. However, diet alone is not enough to lose weight in a healthy way. Exercise plays a role in preventing the weight from gaining again after losing it, and you need at least 30 minutes of exercise every day to lose weight properly.
In addition, obesity is also treated through medication. Obesity treatment drugs include drugs that inhibit fat absorption and appetite suppressants, and it is recommended to take them after consulting with a specialist. If your body mass index is over 35 or over 30 and you have other medical conditions, such as diabetes, surgery may be considered.

So far, we have looked at information related to the obesity index calculator.
If you are overweight beyond the normal range, you should lose weight for health reasons so that you can live a more energetic and healthy life. However, excessive dieting for cosmetic purposes can harm your health, so it is recommended that you maintain a standard weight suitable for your height. With spring coming soon, there will be a lot of people going on a diet ahead of summer, so I hope you can refer to the obesity calculator I introduced today and help you maintain a healthy weight 🙂
