Isser Medical Centre has the best obesity specialist doctors. Obesity was traditionally defined as an increase in body weight greater than 20% of an individual's ideal body weight—the weight associated with the lowest risk of death based on factors such as age, height, and gender. Being overweight could then be defined as a 15-20% increase over ideal body weight based on these factors. However, today's definitions of overweight and obesity are primarily based on height and weight measurements, rather than morbidity. These measurements are used to compute the body mass index (BMI). This number, which is crucial in determining whether a person is clinically defined as obese, corresponds to fatness but is not a direct measure of body fat. BMI numbers are interpreted using weight status classifications such as underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obese, which are adjusted for age and gender. BMI numbers for all adults over the age of 20 correspond to the same weight status designations; for example, a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 equates to overweight, and 30.0 and above equates to obesity. A BMI of 40.0 or higher is considered morbid obesity (also known as extreme or severe obesity).
