Frequently asked questions
What is Obesity?

People are considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a measurement obtained by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of the person’s height in metres, exceeds 30 kg/m2. Being obese means having so much body fat that your health is in danger. Morbid Obesity – When the body weight reaches extreme levels with a very high BMI, it’s called Morbid Obesity.
