Body Mass Index (BMI) is an important index commonly used in the world to measure the degree of obesity and health.

Quasi, mainly used for statistical analysis. The absolute value of weight can not be used to judge the degree of obesity, which is naturally related to height. So, BMI

A relatively objective parameter is obtained by two numerical values of human body weight and height, and the body mass is measured by the range of this parameter.

The world standard of obesity is: BMI is in the normal range from 18.5 to 24.9, BMI greater than 25 is overweight, and BMI greater than 30 is obesity. obese

Asian standard of obesity: Asians are too small to be measured by the world standard of obesity. For example, Japanese people regard BMI as 24.9.

When, the risk of hypertension will increase by 3 times; In China, the mortality rate of BMI is the lowest at 23.7, and the higher it is, the higher it starts to rise. speical

Economists believe that the obesity standard of Asians should be that BMI is normal at18.5-22.9, BMI greater than 23 is overweight, and BMI greater than

30 is obese. China standard of obesity: Chinese experts believe that although China people belong to Asian race, the upper limit of the normal range of body mass index should be

It should be lower than the Asian standard. Some experts suggest that the best value of China people's body mass index should be 20-22, and a BMI greater than 22.6 is considered overweight.

BMI greater than 30 is obesity.
