How Are Overweight and Obesity Diagnosed?


The most common way to find out whether you're overweight or obese is to figure out your body mass index (BMI). BMI is an estimate of body fat, and it's a good gauge of your risk for diseases that occur with more body fat.

BMI is calculated from your height and weight. You can use the chart below or the Body Mass Index Calculator on the Right Side Column of this blog to figure out your BMI. Or, you health care provider can measure your BMI.
