Dr. Hulusi CINAR gave our 45 members a seminar which is about Obesity and Diet on April 24th in MARTI.

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health. It is defined by body mass index (BMI) and further evaluated in terms of fat distribution via the waist–hip ratio and total cardiovascular risk factors.

Metric: BMI = kilograms / meters2  ,  US customary and imperial: BMI = lb * 703 / in2 where lb is the subject's weight in pounds and in is the subject's height in inches.

Any BMI ≥ 35 or 40 is severe obesity. A BMI of ≥ 35 or 40–44.9 or 49.9 is morbid obesity. A BMI of ≥ 45 or 50 is super obese.
