The best obesity specialists can be found at Isser Medical Centre. Obesity was traditionally defined as a weight gain of more 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. Based on these factors, being overweight could be defined as a 15-20% increase over the ideal body weight. Today's definitions of overweight and obesity, on the other hand, are primarily based on height and weight measurements, rather than morbidity. These measurements are used to calculate the BMI. This number corresponds to fatness but is not a direct measure of body fat and is critical in determining whether a person is clinically defined as obese. Weight status classifications such as underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obese are used to interpret BMI numbers, which are adjusted for age and gender. All adults over the age of 20 have the same BMI numbers, which 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. Morbid obesity is defined as a BMI of 40.0 or higher (also known as extreme or severe obesity).
