Obesity classification for the Asian population

For extremely obese persons, weight loss surgery is the only proven approach for long-term weight loss.

The body mass index (BMI), which calculates a person’s weight in relation to his height, is a reliable indicator of obesity. The BMI classifies a person’s obesity and the treatment options available to them.

Check the chart below for obesity classification for Asians:

Category	BMI
Underweight	Below than 18.5
Normal Weight	18.5 to 23.5
Overweight	23.5 to 27.5
Obesity (Class 1)	27.6 to 32.5
Obesity (Class 2)	32.6 to 37.5
Obesity (Class 3) Morbid Obesity	37.6 or higher

Obesity is on the rise all across the world at an alarming rate. Obesity and its related diseases are a silent killer, responsible for more than 300,000 deaths annually. The worst aspect is that, despite being the forerunner to so many significant ailments, many people do not consider it a disease. For those struggling with severe obesity, considering obesity surgery in Mumbai could be a crucial step towards a healthier life.

Obesity in India

India is now the world’s third fattest country, with the second-largest diabetes prevalence. Three out of four Indians are overweight, and over half of urban Indians are obese. It is particularly concerning that over 22% of Indian kids are overweight or obese, putting their health at risk in the long term.

Our society is going through a significant nutritional and lifestyle change right now. Obesity and diabetes have become epidemics due to physical inactivity, increased psychosocial stress, food abundance, an ageing population, and genetic traits.

In such a scenario, weight loss surgery in Mumbai is a ray of hope for morbidly obese people.

He very patiently explained us the issue, and prescribed us the necessary medications. He further suggested us how we could change the diet which would aid her weight loss that would help solve her acidity situation better.Now two months later, she is doing really well with the medications, and Dr. Harsh Sheth is extremely helpful.
