  North Americans spend a total of $30 billion on commercial weight loss programs and $6 billion on weight-loss products per year. At any given time, 25 percent of all men and 40 percent of all women are on some kind of diet. While it’s true that almost any weight-loss regimen will cause you to lose pounds in the short run, the real issue is if you will be able to keep them off in the long run. Unfortunately, most diets fail the test of time. We are still an overweight and obese society because we have many misconceptions about the metabolic processes that cause people to gain and lose body fat.

  What are the bases of classifying a person as obese?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  A person may be categorized as obese based on body composition, body fat percentage

  with respect to lean body mass, and by the body mass index (BMI), the relationship between body mass and body height. Additionally, body fat distribution can be determined by getting the ratio between waist and hip circumference.

  Why is waist circumference so important in assessing obesity?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  In both men and women, one of the most important and accurate indicators of obesity, the potential for cardiac disease, and other health risks is the circumference of the waist. This is because an increased measurement in the waist always indicates an increase in abdominal fat (and the ratio of body fat–to–lean muscle in general). A waistline greater than 35 inches in a woman and 40 inches in a man increases the risk for developing higher cholesterol levels, which lead to coronary disease, and type 2 diabetes. Of course, a waist measurement of 35 inches in women or 40 inches in men is not always an absolute indicator of health risks. You should take into consideration factors such as height, body type, and bone structure.
