Around the world, the prevalence of obesity and overweight has nearly doubled from 1980 to 2016. Being overweight or obese significantly increases the risk of multiple health conditions including cardiovascular disease, arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, and several types of cancer such as breast, prostate, pancreatic, and colon cancer.
Excess body weight affects mobility, interferes with restful sleep, and contributes to a lower quality of life. Research shows that obesity can shorten life expectancy by an average of 8 to 10 years, and for every additional 15 kg of excess weight, the risk of early death increases by approximately 30%.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters..

  • Underweight : Less than 18.5
  • Normal : 18.5 – 24.9
  • Overweight : 25 – 29.9
  • Obese : Greater than 30

Body Fat Percentage is the total mass of fat divided by total body mass. For example, if a person weighs 100 kg and has 24% body fat, then the body consists of 24 kg fat and 76 kg lean body mass (bones, muscles, organs, blood, and other tissues).

Body Fat Percentage Classification

  • Essential Fat : Women 10–13% | Men 2–5%
  • Athletes : Women 14–20% | Men 6–13%
  • Fitness : Women 21–24% | Men 14–17%
